Safari 4

Apple is touting Safari 4 as the fastest browser on the web for both Windows and Mac. Depending on your computer's specs that may indeed be true. However, if you need more than speed, Safari may not be the best choice.
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.
Chrome (beta)

Google has rethought the Internet browser — some of its basic underpinnings are quite novel — but users will recognise some features as they exist in other, open-source browsers on the market today.
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?
Def Jam: Icon

Def Jam: Icon plays well enough, but it really shines thanks to its crazy story mode and healthy roster.
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.
