What internet browser works best on Hughesnet.

Like alfresco says, it's a matter of personal preference.  The most important things, again, as already mentioned, are the extensions you add, like ad blockers and and video playing blockers. 

I, personally, use Chrome, with Adblock Plus, Ublock Origin and a couple of other extensions related to tab functions.   

Microsoft Edge, which is Microsoft's Internet Explorer replacement, is becoming more popular as time goes on, as well.
