Best Free Web Browser

Written by compews

Back in the early 1990s when the World Wide Web was young, there was only one web browser worth using: Netscape, which evolved from Mosaic. Then Microsoft gave us Internet Explorer and subsequently started including it with their OS. Thus began the browser wars, and IE eventually emerged as the clear winner.

Today Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) is Microsoft’s latest browser.  A major update from version 7, it has been playing catch up with other major browsers on the market… especially when in the area of security and features.  It is a competent browser with enough features to meet the needs of most users, but it is still difficult to recommend due to on-going security concerns. In the past IE has been a focus for security attacks, and there is little to suggest that this will change with newer releases of IE.  Additionally, Microsoft has a poor track record for speedily fixing IE defects, and this has left users open to drive-by attacks and other forms of zero-day exploits and eventhough IE8 now supports an add-on architecture, there are currently very few add-ons worth using (though that may change in the future).  This has opened the door for a new set of browsers that are feature rich, very secure, and super fast.
