    Your sister site has the good ...firefacts -- 20/06/08

    Your sister site has the good oil --> http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=1288&tag=nl.e539

    The good: It's free

    The bad: It's not virus, hack or bug free... It's seconds old and it's already put millions at risk.

Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Faster rendering
  • Vastly reduced use of system resources
  • Clever new data-mining tools for bookmarks and browser history
  • More security features than any other browser
The bad:
  • No support for Windows 95, 98 and Me
  • No support for Mac OS X versions 10.2 and earlier
The bottomline:

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

Editors’ rating:

8/10

RRP: Free
