Security researcher Michal Zalewski has published four new vulnerabilities for Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
Google's Chrome and Apple's Safari web browsers have continued to steal market share from their much larger rivals Internet Explorer and Firefox over the past six months, according to internal ZDNet.com.au statistics.
Firefox 3.5, the embodiment of Mozilla's attempt to "upgrade the web", is now available for Windows and Mac.
Alternative browsers such as Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome may be aimed at toppling Microsoft's reign, but analysts say Internet Explorer's "overwhelming dominance" in the workplace will be difficult to defeat.
Yahoo said that a statement from the company's Australian office on Tuesday, which claimed that all future products would be compatible with both the Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers, was inaccurate.
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.
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.
A rash of creativity has overcome browser vendors recently in a completely unexpected place: the content of the new tab page.
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.
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.
Sorry if it sounds like I'm drinking the Google Kool-Aid here, but I have switched from Mozilla Firefox to Google Chrome as my default browser for the very reason Google's executives said we should: speed.
The Mozilla Foundation is perhaps best known for its Firefox web browser, an open source offering that was first developed to go head-to-head with Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
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.
Is Internet Explorer 7 just another security patch disguised as a "new" offering? Should it rightfully be called IE 6.1 for Windows XP Service Pack 2, asks Fran Foo.
But security firm also finds that Microsoft's IE is the only browser widely exploited by hackers today.
On "Working Webware," ZDNet Editor in Chief Dan Farber and Webware editor Rafe Needleman sit down with Flock CEO Shawn Hardin to find out about the company's social media browser, its role in the open-source community, and how it plans to compete against rivals Microsoft and Mozilla. Farber and Needleman also analyze the company's odds for success and Flock's fate in the next-generation browser wars.

Mozilla CEO Mitchell Baker says Firefox is predominantly about promoting a healthy and open Internet where no company or individual holds a monopoly on innovation.
It's been a while since Internet Explorer faced a worthy opponent, but Mozilla Firefox seems to be one that could make a serious dent in Microsoft's browser dominance.
Is Internet Explorer 7 just another security patch disguised as a "new" offering? Should it rightfully be called IE 6.1 for Windows XP Service Pack 2, asks Fran Foo.
A security start-up is borrowing a technique from the research labs to try to give Internet Explorer PCs relief from Web-based attacks.
The new version of Internet Explorer will include tabbed browsing but will this be enough to entice Firefox users to convert?
Internet Explorer is getting a bad rap lately, and the fact is, a lot of other options are out there. Heck, some of those options are Internet Explorer, just in a different package. So, is it Firefox or some other alternative?
