I had a look and I see a few but I am not sure whats what.

I am only wondering if there is such a thing as a free of charge totally encrypted internet web browser that just works as easy and simple/similar to the likes of normal browsers like google, firefox and IE etc etc etc ?

Anyone know ?

Depends what you mean by fully encrypted. No browser can encrypt a connection to a website if the website doesn't support encryption. Opera has it's turbo mode, Firefox has HTTPS Everywhere.

Using a VPN probably the easiest solution, TOR is OK but extremely slow from my limited experience of it.

As above, a VPN would allow you to encrypt your traffic from client to server.

Only between yourself and the VPN servers. If the target server doesn't support encryption, your data is still vulnerable between the VPN and the target server.

I suppose it depends if you are trying to be anonymous, or trying to secure the data packets from end to end.

If you are trying to get around ISP blocks, GOM is a free VPN addon for Chrome.

Opera has built in VPN, you just need to enable it in the security pane.
