If only for the speed, lightness of being, and security alone, Firefox remains our Editors' Choice for best Internet browser.

Internet Explorer 7
Reviewed on October 18, 2006
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.

Windows Live Favorites
Reviewed on September 22, 2006
Windows Live Favorites lets you save, import, and arrange bookmarks in subject folders, then view saved links without leaving the page--but it doesn't hook you up with other users' favorite URLs the way Del.icio.us does.

While Firefox 1.5 isn't too different from the original release, what's new should attract even more Firefox users--and that's ultimately good for the Internet.

Google Desktop 4 beta
Reviewed on June 22, 2006
Google Desktop 4 beta is less clunky than its predecessor, and we love the zippy search and creative Sidebar Gadgets. Still, we're wary of handing over our computing habits to Google's servers.
