Two of the last remaining serious Web browser rivals to Microsoft's Internet Explorer each released new versions this week, promising faster and more stable surfing.
Mozilla released its fifth beta version of Firefox 3 for Windows and the Mac on Wednesday, bringing a handful of improvements in ease of use to the open-source Web browser.
Mozilla has released a new beta version of Firefox 3, with the popular open source Web browser featuring significant new features that according to its makers will improve security, ease of use and the rendering of Web pages.
Microsoft on Thursday issued what it hopes will be the last test version of Internet Explorer 7 before the new browser is released later this year.
Norwegian software developer Opera has released a second beta version of its browser on Saturday. Beta 2 plugs a recently discovered vulnerability that could be used in phishing attacks.
If you love to live on the edge of browser development, one consistent ache with each new Firefox beta is that all your extensions stop working. The solution to this problem happens to be head-slappingly simple.

IE may be the quickest browser to load pages, but this is not a 100m dash; seems like someone has forgotten to tell Microsoft that there is another 300m of JavaScript to go until this race is over.
Norwegian company Opera Software released the first beta of its 9.6 Opera Web browser last week. We took it for a spin to see how it handled.
In the past few days French-based Linux company Mandriva has released a beta version of its upcoming Mandriva 2010 Linux distribution. We took it for a spin in a virtualised VMware environment.

As Microsoft's forthcoming office suite takes clearer shape, we report on the latest beta version, and its implications for companies' IT strategies.
The internet has exploded in a single, joyous, mass-hallucination called Chrome. Apparently it's the fastest browser ever and will solve a myriad of problems from slowness within Google Spreadsheet to possibly creating an acceptable carbon trading scheme.
Test drive the latest interface enhancements and time-saving features for Safari, Apple's premier, cross-platform browser.
Google has rethought the Internet browser some of its basic underpinnings are quite novel but users will recognise some features as they exist in other, open-source browsers on the market today.
Given all the expectations, we wanted more within IE 7 for XP, but Microsoft has given us less.
Microsoft has changed the look and feel of its venerable browser, while adding some much-needed security features.
