Reviews

  • 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.

  • Optus USB Slimline Modem

    The Optus USB modem works as advertised, but fluctuations in service and a few software bugs have hampered our experience during testing.

  • 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.

    Microsoft's release should retain its browser base but doesn't yet have enough to lure loyal Firefox users back to Internet Explorer.

  • Vodafone Internet Stick

    For those blessed with excellent 3G reception in their homes the Vodafone Internet Stick will serve you well. Be sure to check Vodafone's coverage map before coughing up the cash.

  • Firefox 3

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

  • Opera 10

    What's new in Opera 10? Oh, just a major compression engine, better customisations, and dual identity for tabs.
