| Review summary | 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. | 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. | Mozilla Firefox 2 is a winner, beating Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 on security, features, and overall cool factor and deserving our Editors' Choice award. | If only for the speed, lightness of being, and security alone, Firefox remains our Editors' Choice for best Internet browser. |
