Firefox 28.0

Firefox 28.0. is definitely one of the most popular browsers in every corner of the world, as it provides excellent browsing speed and very powerful customization tools, with just a reasonable footprint on computer resources.

Firefox is now available on multiple platforms, including Mac OS X and Linux, as well as portable devices, so it has to be something really special about it since so many people are using it.

The first contact with Firefox shouldn't be surprising since most browsers have already adopted tabbed browsing. It comes with a tabbed interface so opening multiple pages at the same page isn't a problem anymore. But what's under the hood is what really makes the difference.

Firefox is amazingly fast and blocks pop-ups, viruses and spyware, but also gives the user an extraordinary power of customization through a well-developed add-on manager. Basically, you can change almost everything in your browser, starting with the way it looks and ending with features and functionality.

Mozilla lets you install new themes and so-called Personas that change the appearance of the main window, as well as plug-ins and extensions for adding new features to the application.

Last but not least, just like the latest iterations of Internet Explorer, it comes with integrated search engines, powered by Google or Yahoo. Plus, it features a powerful bookmark manager, an advanced pop-up blocker, efficient privacy controls and detailed settings menus.

Firefox is very light on computer resources and it performs without a glitch on older computers as well. This browser is fast, reliable and the crash rate is very low. In addition, with the aid of a few extensions and themes, Firefox can be personalized to your own taste.

Features Firefox 18.0

Chromium 34.0.1802.0

Chromium 34.0.1802.0 is the application that serves as the foundation for Chrome, with Google’s developers improving the software and adding a bunch of enhancements to make it worthy of the Google badge.

However, Chromium isn’t too far off the application that was thrown in the battle against Firefox and Internet Explorer. Chromium is actually a lighter Chrome that provides almost the same performance and functionality as Google’s tool.

The interface is identical to Chrome’s and in addition, it has the exact options as its more popular brother, as well as extension and theme support.  While the assymetries between the two browsers are not that many, the ones that do apply make quite a difference. Unlike Chromium, Chrome also comes with an integrated flash player, the company’s autoupdate function that’s being used in many downloadable tools plus some other improvements to help the software rise up to the expectations.

Despite the contrasts between the two, Chromium is actually a pretty fast browsing solution. It's true that its simplicity may not captivate the whole crowd and some users might feel the need for some features that are only available in Google's very own tool.

After the tests we performed, we came down to one conclusion: it is only up to you and your needs. In case you’re looking for a simple web browser that helps you do just that, browse the Internet, then this might be a great tool for you.

Comodo Dragon 29.1

Comodo Dragon 29.1 Few would argue to the fact that the Internet has rapidly become the most used communication medium worldwide. That is why the major players on the web browser market strive to offer users faster and stable products and Comodo Dragon makes no exception.

This browser is based on the Chromium technology, thus its appearance is similar to Google Chrome. Just like its more popular relative Comodo Dragon is focused on combining simplicity with functionality, thus the interface is quite minimalistic, displaying only the address bar and the navigation buttons.

Furthermore, it provides users with the all the classic features that Chrome offers, including a bookmark organizer, a download and a password manager, developer tools, as well as extension and theme support. Also, you can create custom profiles for every user and personalize the browser according to one's preferences and needs.

Comodo Dragon offers advanced privacy and security features, considering the growing number of online threats. The browser places a lot of emphasis on the user privacy, so just like Chrome, it allows you to use the Incognito Mode to navigate on the web securely.

You can optionally suppress HTTP referrer header, which restricts websites from knowing where you came from. Also, the cookie and history can be erased after every session, thus ensuring your privacy.

What is specific about Comodo Dragon is the Comodo Secure DNS technology, which you can use to filter malware domains and protect your computer. Malicious websites are automatically detected and blocked, while the browsing is faster due to the use of Comodo DNS servers.

Designed to be simple and easy to use, Comodo Dragon is a fast browsing solution that can be enhanced if the user chooses to install add-ons. Besides the basic browser functionality and features, it offers superior protection options that you can use to make the browsing experience more secure.

Opera 12.14 Build 1738

Opera 12.14 Build 1738. The main concern regarding web browsers is speed. Even though Internet connections get faster every day, this still remains the essential and most debated topic when it comes down to web browser preferences. The next matter in hand is the stability and security provided by that favorite application. While Opera is not everyone's pick, Chrome and Firefox fight for supremacy against Internet Explorer.

Things change when looking at mobile browser charts, as Opera Mini tops their ranks. Switching back to the desktop version, it may look as Opera can never compete with these browsers when it comes to usage statistics. Where it can compete though is real-life, day-by-day web browsing. The real test would be to take a number of fans of each browser and measure their stress levels as they surf the Internet.

Opera has a pretty sleek and attractive interface, although users can get a lot more thanks to the built-in theme support that allows them to download themes with a single click. In addition to that, you can also change the color scheme, just to be sure everything matches your preferences. While it doesn't fancy the number of add-ons that Firefox possesses, Opera provides support for extensions.

One interesting feature that might set Opera apart from competition is called Opera Turbo and is specifically designed to help load webpages faster. Especially designed for those with slow Internet connections, this particular function compresses webpages and reduces loading times, thus the browser downloads smaller files.

Opera is one feature packed web browser right out of the box. It sports tabbed browsing, integrated search engine, a password manager and even functions such as mouse gestures and voice interaction. With this particular web browser, users can quickly set up their mail accounts and RSS feeds for easy access to the things they need inside the same application.

The thing that drags Opera down is its HTML (HTML5 in particular) and JavaScript compatibility issues. It's still a very resource friendly application while delivering an impressive browsing speed. When other web browsers might fail, crash and burn, Opera takes advantage of its caching management techniques to make sure the experience of Internet surfing is smooth.

Opera packs one of the best feature set, making web navigation faster and quite a pleasure. It does not require a certain level of Internet-related knowledge as many would think and brings the necessary bundle of protection against pop-ups and other online malware. You can be sure that you just discovered a new option when picking your favorite browser. In the end, it's just a matter of taste.

Features Opera 12.14 Build 1738

Speed Dial:
· Now you have a new way to access your favorite Web sites. Just open a new tab to get your Speed Dial. It's easy to populate and addictive to use.

BitTorrent:
· You don't need a separate BitTorrent application to download large files. Simply click a torrent link and start the download.

Site preferences:
· Want to view a site in a different way or deny certain cookies? Want to block pop-ups on certain sites only? Right click and select "Edit site preferences".

Thumbnail preview:
· It is easy to have many tabs open at once in Opera. But exactly which tab had that video you wanted? Hover your mouse on any tab to see a thumbnail preview.

Fraud protection:
· Opera's advanced fraud protection protects you against web sites that try to steal your personal information.

Add your favorite search engines:
· Right-click on the site's search field and select "Create search" from the menu.

Widgets:
· Small Web applications (multimedia, newsfeeds, games and more) that make your desktop experience more fun. Use the Widgets menu to discover new widgets and access your favorites.

Transfer manager:
· View download progress and access all your downloads from one simple transfer manager window.

Password manager:
· The password manager remembers your usernames and passwords so you will not have to.

Mouse gestures:
· Opera supports mouse gestures, allowing you to perform certain movements with the mouse to access commonly used features.

Notes:
· Notes can be kept in conjunction with a Web site you want to refer to later, or remind you of any particular information you may like to review again.

Keyboard Shortcuts:
· Keyboard shortcuts - like mouse gestures - make your browsing faster and more efficient. Read more about all the keyboard shortcuts in Opera.

Tabbed browsing:
· Surf the Web easier and faster by opening multiple Web pages within the same application window

Integrated search:
· Search Google, eBay, Amazon and more with our integrated search field. You can also search directly in the address field using keywords

Fast Forward:
· Fast Forward will detect the most likely "next page" link and greatly simplify navigation in multi-page documents such as search results and image galleries.

Voice:
· The voice feature allows you to control Opera's interface by talking and to have documents read aloud. Voice is currently offered in English

Full-screen mode:
· The F11 key toggles Opera's projection mode, using the whole screen for browsing and, if a projection style sheet is present, displays 'slides' suitable for presentation.

Kiosk mode:
· Opera supports kiosk mode - a lock-down mode in which the browser can be used for unattended computers in public places.

Opera mail:
· Our built-in POP/IMAP E-mail client is a combined e-mail program, news reader, mailing list organizer and RSS/Atom newsfeed reader.

Standards support:
· We take pride in supporting all major Web standards currently in use, including CSS 2.1, XHTML 1.1, HTML 4.01, WML 2.0, ECMAScript, DOM 2 and SVG 1.1 basic.

Slim Browser 6.01 Build 95

Slim Browser 6.01 Build 95. Firefox and Internet Explorer are still dominating the browser world, but there are a lot of other similar apps out there that could do the same things at least as good as the two kings.

SlimBrowser is one possible solution for all people who want to try something new, and although it could sound a little bit impossible, it could even take the place of Firefox or IE in your heart.

The browser is based on the Internet Explorer engine, so it comes with all features bundled into Microsoft’s application, but also with a lot of other goodies that could make your browsing experience a lot more attractive.

First of all, it comes with tab support and although this isn’t such an innovative feature anymore, it’s still good that it’s there. Of course, there are several settings to modify tabbing behavior, so you can easily change the way you close or open a new tab.

But SlimBrowser has a lot more than that. It tackles the social networking frenzy pretty well with dedicated Facebook support to share a text, a link or update the status on the go, but at the same time it lets the user share a link on popular services such as Twitter or Google Buzz.

Popup blocking features are still there, so are the privacy ones to remove history and temporary files on the go, but one really great feature is the auto-form filler. This way, you can auto complete forms you find online automatically, so you don’t have to write down the same contact info over and over again.

In case you’re wondering what’s with the ad-supported flag that’s shown on Softpedia, it’s because SlimBrowser includes some add-ons, such as a custom search engine, that could help developers generate income when users access them.

But all in all, SlimBrowser is a pretty slim way of browsing the Internet, and as long as you don’t fall in love with Firefox or Internet Explorer, it would be a great idea to give this one a try too.

Features Slim Browser 6.01 Build 95

· Built-in web form filler. Also support integration of RoboForm Form Filler.
· Built-in popup killer suppresses all annoying popup ads while you browse internet.
· Built-in web form spell checker proofs your online postings against spelling mistakes.
· URL Filter eliminate ad banners or other unwanted components within web pages by address patterns.
· Convenient access to major web search engines or your own favorite ones by Quick-Search Bar
· Built-in VBScript/Jscript/HTML/Text editor.
· A large collection of skins available to tune the browser appearance to your own taste.
· Autologin enables you to navigate to your favorite site and log into your account with a single click.
· Seamless integration with online translation engines and dictionaries.
· Site group lets you save a collection of web sites as a group and open all of them at once with a single click.
· You can type pre-defined short alias instead of long URL to browse frequently visited internet sites

Google Chrome 24.0.1312.52 Beta

Google Chrome 24.0.1312.52 Beta. For a long time, the fight for the supremacy of the browser kingdom has involved just two major players: Mozilla's Firefox and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, each trying to attract more users with their functionality. However, the search engine giant Google has decided to enter the battle with its very own solution: Google Chrome.

Since its launch in 2008, Google’s browser has quickly attracted attention and users no longer install it only to check out a new app, since it already showed that it can be just as stable and feature-packed as the dedicated browsers.

Installation is extremely easy due to the simple setup pack that makes the whole task just a matter of clicking “Next” a few times, along with some options that are far from complicated.

The interface is clean and pleasant, but those who do not really like it can easily apply themes, so that every one can bring their very own touch to an otherwise static app. Being focused on leaving the user plenty of room for viewing the visited webpage, the interface is kept as minimalistic as possible, with the address bar featuring all the buttons one might require for navigation.

Another way to customize Google Chrome and make it more suitable to one's needs is to install extensions – Google has created a comprehensive Webstore for these extensions, where users can find basically any type of app or extension, ranging from education to games, lifestyle and blogging.

A novelty introduced by Google Chrome is the fact that when the user visits more than a single website, more processes are started, so that if one of the webpages crashes, the user can simply terminate its tab (and implicitly its process), without closing the whole browser.

Also, this browser places a lot of emphasis on user privacy, so the Incognito Mode was created. It allows users to explore the Internet the usual way, but when the app is closed, it automatically erases all cookies and history it may have created, thus ensuring one's privacy is maintained.

The freeware license and the frequent updates convince more and more users to take this browser into consideration. Designed with simplicity in mind, it is an easy to use app that can become a powerful package if the user chooses to install add-ons. This makes it the perfect browser basically for every type of user out there.

Features Google Chrome 24.0.1312.52 Beta

Maxthon 4.0.3.1000 RC

Maxthon 4.0.3.1000 RC.  is a free web browser which has quickly developed a large fan base, due to its completely customizable and user-friendly interface, as well as high speed and overall good performance. Also, Maxthon has several useful features that aim to help you improve navigation.

For example, there is an undo button for any tabs that you have accidentally closed, and a search toolbar with eight different search engines, new private window and new session options.

Capturing an image, a whole webpage or a region doesn't require installing an add-on (as other web browsers usually do) because now you have a single button called Snap (exports file as .png, .bmp, or .jpg).

External Tools offer quick launch to any software on the computer, such as Paint or Calculator, and there is a built-in notepad that runs faster than Windows' Notepad, which you can use to write notes, or even scripts and run them in Maxthon 3.

Resource Sniffers features show page history and detects whether a page contains video, audio, images or just plain text (and you can download any of them too), while a translate button redirects you to a specified link for language translation purposes (the default is Google Translate).

By pressing F10 you activate split screen for easy navigation between webpages (similar to Total Commander for file managing), and the most fun part about Maxthon probably relies within mouse gestures (for example, by simply dragging a link from any webpage, you can open it in a new tab).

When it comes to security and convenience, Maxthon 3 comes with a built-in Ad Hunter blocks unnecessary ads, images and pages, a Feed Reader ensures that you have all your news at hand, whereas the Download Manager can help you easily access all the items you grabbed.

Maxthon 3 is likely to surprise you with its simplicity and efficiency, especially in this highly competitive market. Furthermore, everything about Maxthon 3 is completely customizable, so you can create your own web browsing experience.

Features Maxthon 4.0.3.1000 RC

Chromium 26.0.1377.0

Chromium 26.0.1377.0 is the application that serves as the foundation for Chrome, with Google’s developers improving the software and adding a bunch of enhancements to make it worthy of the Google badge.

However, Chromium isn’t too far off the application that was thrown in the battle against Firefox and Internet Explorer. Chromium is actually a lighter Chrome that provides almost the same performance and functionality as Google’s tool.

The interface is identical to Chrome’s and in addition, it has the exact options as its more popular brother, as well as extension and theme support.  While the assymetries between the two browsers are not that many, the ones that do apply make quite a difference. Unlike Chromium, Chrome also comes with an integrated flash player, the company’s autoupdate function that’s being used in many downloadable tools plus some other improvements to help the software rise up to the expectations.

Despite the contrasts between the two, Chromium is actually a pretty fast browsing solution. It's true that its simplicity may not captivate the whole crowd and some users might feel the need for some features that are only available in Google's very own tool.

After the tests we performed, we came down to one conclusion: it is only up to you and your needs. In case you’re looking for a simple web browser that helps you do just that, browse the Internet, then this might be a great tool for you.

Firefox 18.0 Beta 7

Firefox 18.0 Beta 7. is definitely one of the most popular browsers in every corner of the world, as it provides excellent browsing speed and very powerful customization tools, with just a reasonable footprint on computer resources.

Firefox is now available on multiple platforms, including Mac OS X and Linux, as well as portable devices, so it has to be something really special about it since so many people are using it.

The first contact with Firefox shouldn't be surprising since most browsers have already adopted tabbed browsing. It comes with a tabbed interface so opening multiple pages at the same page isn't a problem anymore. But what's under the hood is what really makes the difference.

Firefox is amazingly fast and blocks pop-ups, viruses and spyware, but also gives the user an extraordinary power of customization through a well-developed add-on manager. Basically, you can change almost everything in your browser, starting with the way it looks and ending with features and functionality.

Mozilla lets you install new themes and so-called Personas that change the appearance of the main window, as well as plug-ins and extensions for adding new features to the application.

Last but not least, just like the latest iterations of Internet Explorer, it comes with integrated search engines, powered by Google or Yahoo. Plus, it features a powerful bookmark manager, an advanced pop-up blocker, efficient privacy controls and detailed settings menus.

Firefox is very light on computer resources and it performs without a glitch on older computers as well. This browser is fast, reliable and the crash rate is very low. In addition, with the aid of a few extensions and themes, Firefox can be personalized to your own taste.

Features Firefox 18.0 Beta 7

· Comprehensive popup controls to keep unwanted advertising off your desktop;
· A tab browsing mode that lets you open several pages in a single window, allowing you to load links in the background without leaving the page you're on;

Slim Browser 6.01 Build 93

Slim Browser 6.01 Build 93. Firefox and Internet Explorer are still dominating the browser world, but there are a lot of other similar apps out there that could do the same things at least as good as the two kings.

SlimBrowser is one possible solution for all people who want to try something new, and although it could sound a little bit impossible, it could even take the place of Firefox or IE in your heart.

The browser is based on the Internet Explorer engine, so it comes with all features bundled into Microsoft’s application, but also with a lot of other goodies that could make your browsing experience a lot more attractive.

First of all, it comes with tab support and although this isn’t such an innovative feature anymore, it’s still good that it’s there. Of course, there are several settings to modify tabbing behavior, so you can easily change the way you close or open a new tab.

But SlimBrowser has a lot more than that. It tackles the social networking frenzy pretty well with dedicated Facebook support to share a text, a link or update the status on the go, but at the same time it lets the user share a link on popular services such as Twitter or Google Buzz.

Popup blocking features are still there, so are the privacy ones to remove history and temporary files on the go, but one really great feature is the auto-form filler. This way, you can auto complete forms you find online automatically, so you don’t have to write down the same contact info over and over again.

In case you’re wondering what’s with the ad-supported flag that’s shown on Softpedia, it’s because SlimBrowser includes some add-ons, such as a custom search engine, that could help developers generate income when users access them.

But all in all, SlimBrowser is a pretty slim way of browsing the Internet, and as long as you don’t fall in love with Firefox or Internet Explorer, it would be a great idea to give this one a try too.

Features Slim Browser 6.01 Build 93

· Built-in web form filler. Also support integration of RoboForm Form Filler.
· Built-in popup killer suppresses all annoying popup ads while you browse internet.
· Built-in web form spell checker proofs your online postings against spelling mistakes.
· URL Filter eliminate ad banners or other unwanted components within web pages by address patterns.
· Convenient access to major web search engines or your own favorite ones by Quick-Search Bar
· Built-in VBScript/Jscript/HTML/Text editor.
· A large collection of skins available to tune the browser appearance to your own taste.
· Autologin enables you to navigate to your favorite site and log into your account with a single click.
· Seamless integration with online translation engines and dictionaries.
· Site group lets you save a collection of web sites as a group and open all of them at once with a single click.
· You can type pre-defined short alias instead of long URL to browse frequently visited internet sites

· Includes a Standalone Log File Viewer
· A standalone log file viewer allows HttpWatch .hwl files to be viewed and modified outside of Internet Explorer.
· Summary of Recorded Traffic
The Summary view can be used at any time to quickly display data about the whole log, a single page or a number of selected items. The following types of data are shown:
· Performance - this tab shows how long the requests took to complete and can be used to accurately measure page download time. It also shows how much network bandwidth was used and the savings achieved from using HTTP compression
· Status Codes - this tab records how many times each HTTP status code was received
· Errors - any network or HTTP level errors are displayed on this tab. Double clicking on an error finds the first request that caused the error. Pressing F3 then takes you to the next request that also failed in the same way.
