Reviews

  • 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.

  • 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.
