Mozilla's Firefox 2 and Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 are vulnerable to a flaw that could allow attackers to steal passwords.
Australia's CSIRO research organisation has developed a Firefox plugin named Annodex that allows browsing through time-continuous media such as audio and video in the same way that HTML allows browsing through text.
Firefox 3.5, the embodiment of Mozilla's attempt to "upgrade the web", is now available for Windows and Mac.
Developers working on the next version of Firefox aim to release a beta or test version to the public in August.
Security researchers have discovered a flaw affecting Google's Chrome browser which exposes it to clickjacking where an attacker hijacks a browser's functions by substituting a legitimate link with one of the attacker's choice.
I've been playing around with a beta build of Firefox's 3.6 browser for some time, and while it's been completely stable, its new tab behaviour has annoyed me.
Firefox is still king when it comes to daily work on the tubes, despite the steady increase in the buzz surrounding the open-source Webkit project, on which Safari and Google Chrome are based.
Turns out that the "developer preview" of Google's latest creation, Google Wave, is not as open as one would expect, with the preview only being open to attendees of Google's I/O conference but there is another way to see it in action. And forget wanting to use IE6 with it.
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.
The choice and use of the new video tag in HTML 5 is one of the more explosive sticking points in the evolving standard. Which codecs should browsers use? Why even have a video tag at all when Flash works well currently? Will anyone use it even if it becomes a standard?
Opera CTO Hkon Wium Lie must feel a special kinship with the "Band of Brothers" soliloquy that Shakespeare reserves for Henry V.
Firefox 3.5 forges ahead with strong developer support, but most improvements for casual users will probably strike them as minor.
So far, the open source browser has been getting a free ride -- nobody is criticising it. That is, until now.
Opera Software has challenged Microsoft to develop a browser which adheres to standards but will Microsoft take it up?
The Mozilla Foundation's browser may be free, but that doesn't keep insiders from cashing in.
Windows 7 will be code-versioned as Windows 7.0, won't it? On this week's Club Builder we see that it isn't so, as well as get Steve Ballmer thoughts on Vista deployment; plus we see some new HTML5 tricks.
Web 2.0, with its complex sites and rich Ajax applications, is an increasingly demanding platform for a browser. In this review feature, we look at how the leading browsers measure up.
If only for the speed, lightness of being and security alone, Firefox remains our Editors' Choice for best internet browser.
So far, the open source browser has been getting a free ride -- nobody is criticising it. That is, until now.
Recent flaws in the way Microsoft processes JPEG files and a decision to offer IE updates only to Windows XP users lead to just one logical conclusion: bail on Microsoft Internet Explorer.
You cheat, you lie and you're unwilling to change. Well, I've finally had enough and there's nothing you can say that will make me change my mind.
