While the main players are here, this review is by no means an exhaustive list of Web browsers. Many specialist browsers exist, some of which might better suit your own particular needs. Thus, although I prefer Opera and Firefox, I would still refer you to http://browsers.evolt.org for more options if you find nothing here entirely pleases. Happy surfing!
Editor's choice: Opera 7.54
Without a doubt, Opera is supported by the greatest range of operating systems, including UNIX and various mobile devices. Only Firefox and Netscape come close to such OS versatility. While Opera has many features built in, these two competitors have a wide range of add-ons available for download. Where Netscape falls behind the other two is in language support (and on that score, they could all learn a thing or two from Avant).The wealth of toolbars and configuration options, along with the integrated e-mail client, inclines me to choose Opera as the Editor's Choice winner. I'm not entirely happy with its history list, but I suspect that is just a matter of familiarity. Opera is a flexible product for general use in both both homes and offices.
