Best Browser, hands down – Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla has released Firefox (previously Firebird) for OS X, Windows and Linux. If you haven’t used it, you’re missing out. Among the reasons it’s better than Microsoft Internet Explorer (or any other browser) are:

. Automatic popup blocking
. Right click and “block images from this server–great for quickly removing banner ad servers
. Tabbed browsing
. Consistent over 3 different operating systems
. It’s fast–very fast
. Built in Google searching
. Better standards support, especially for Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
. Open Source
. Extendable
. Less prone to viruses (at least so far)
. Bettter built in download manager

I really can’t think of a single reason to keep using Internet Explorer, and in fact, for quite some time now, I haven’t. Apple’s Safari browser is a little more of a competitor and has most of the same features as Firefox, but in my experience, Firefox renders pages better, and with the GUI enhancements that came with this release, I don’t think I’ll be using Safari much anymore either (not that I really ever did).
