A good browser

Whitson Gordon   Lifehacke r   You've probably  heard a lot about Firefox 4's new interface, speed, and feature improvements , but  many of you have already left it for Chrome . Here's why Firefox's newest version is worth another look, even if you're a diehard Chrome user. I've never been much of a Firefox user myself. I switched between browsers a lot until Chrome came out, after which I used it almost exclusively.

Webpro News Microsoft announced today their latest version of  Internet Explorer  reached 2.3 million downloads in 24 hours.

In 2007, IE controlled 80% of the market. The latest reports have them sitting at 57%. Simplistic interfaces, faster load times, better security, have all been reasons behind IE losing ground. It appears Microsoft has remedied many of these problems, and reviews have pointed out these improvements.

Image via Wikipedia Deep Tech - CNET News : "Microsoft has released a seventh test version of Internet Explorer 9 the company says is better at 'real-world' Web-based JavaScript programs. But with it has come a rival's accusation that Microsoft essentially engaged in the storied computer industry practice of benchmark engineering--designing technology to be fast on an artificial speed test. The seventh IE9 platform preview comes with new improvements to its Chakra JavaScript engine. And Microsoft asserted Chakra is engineered to do better on actual Web site tasks rather than narrow benchmarks.
