Review summary	Unless your business has specific ActiveX technology needs, you are much more secure running Firefox than Internet Explorer.	If you're only after speed, try Safari but keep your other browser, too. Try Camino if you crave advanced settings.	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.	Mozilla Firefox 2 is a winner, beating Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 on security, features, and overall cool factor and deserving our Editors' Choice award.	Mozilla Thunderbird 2 is a fine, free, extensible e-mail client and a solid alternative to pricey Microsoft Outlook 2007 or the free Windows Live Mail.
