Personally, I think that eToro is the best broker for beginners. The reason is that they provide an easy-to-use platform that allows even beginners to trade. One feature I must appreciate is where the users can copy trades from experienced traders. So you can learn from the best. Users are free to choose any good trader and can have anywhere from 20% to 100% of what the expert trader makes. The platform works smoothly, I never had any noticeable problems beside small hiccups here and there, but that is normal. Spreads are fixed and i think thats a plus.
