The Bottom Line Firefox's tabbed browsing, RSS support, security features, and overall cool factor make it more attractive than Internet Explorer. If only for the speed, lightness of being, and security alone, Firefox remains our Editors' Choice for best Internet browser. Mozilla Firefox 2 is a winner, beating Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 on security, features, and overall cool factor and deserving our Editors' Choice award. 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. If you're only after speed, try Safari but keep your other browser, too. Try Camino if you crave advanced settings.
