Reviews

Google Chrome 4

The fastest web browser on the market, Google Chrome is a valiant and speedy attempt to redefine how we surf the internet.
Flock 2.5

Flock's differentiator is the way it integrates other services into the main browser frame — almost everything you'd want to do on the social web is already built in.
Firefox 3

If only for the speed, lightness of being and security alone, Firefox remains our Editors' Choice for best internet browser.
Opera 9.5

Long considered a cult favourite, Opera 9.5 for Windows and Mac has introduced some compelling improvements to security, speed and synchronisation — yes, syncing in a browser!— is there enough here to make you a convert?
Mozilla Firefox 2

Mozilla Firefox 2 is a winner, beating Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 on security, features, and overall cool factor and deserving our Editors' Choice award.
Internet Explorer 7

IE 7 was Microsoft's one chance to leapfrog ahead of the competition, but the company has only barely caught sight of the current front-runners. For more features and greater security, switch to Mozilla Firefox.
Netvibes

If you want to fill a personal home page with dozens of individualised newsfeeds and tools, Netvibes does a cleaner job than rival services from bigger brand names.
Firefox 2 RC1

Firefox 2 RC1 isn't meant for public consumption, but this early look demonstrates some cool new features in the next release of Firefox.
