Firefox 3.5, the embodiment of Mozilla's attempt to "upgrade the web", is now available for Windows and Mac.
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.
Microsoft Taiwan representatives have reportedly revealed that the launch date for version 8 of Internet Explorer: 20 March.
Australia's Computer Emergency Response Team (AusCERT) has recommended organisations "consider using a web browser other than Internet Explorer until a patch becomes available" an option that many large firms cannot seriously consider.
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.
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.
Microsoft is going to let everyone -- even people with an illegal pirate copy of Windows XP -- download IE7 because the software giant really cares about the safety and security of all Internet users. (But don't mention Firefox ...)
Google has announced a new Chrome Operating System, designed for the web and with a browser baked directly into it so much so that the entire OS is named after it. But the search giant should watch out: this decision seems designed to attract antitrust attention.
Microsoft has announced that from next week, it will begin deploying its Internet Explorer 8 browser to the majority of users via Automatic Update and there was much rejoicing and a feeling of relief.
It's always funny watching an event force a company to break old habits and this IE zero day was enough for Microsoft to do it. As Microsoft Australia's strategic security advisor Stuart Strathdee said "we pulled all stops to get this patch out".
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.
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.
Opera CTO Hkon Wium Lie must feel a special kinship with the "Band of Brothers" soliloquy that Shakespeare reserves for Henry V.
As Microsoft unveils the next version of its flagship Office suite, we ask: is it revolution or evolution?
There's no doubt that Ubuntu is a worthy rival to Windows 7 and even hands Mac OS X a cold dish of nasty in its stellar 9.04 release. Hats off to Mark Shuttleworth and his team: you got game.
On this week's episode: we learn how to waste time in the terminal, cast an eye over the state of Firefox and see what Microsoft's Sphere is all about
In this episode of Club Builder: a new Firefox plug-in makes browsing more powerful, computer viruses enter orbit, and Microsoft gets a three-way serve of soapboxing.
Any other name would be better than Ubuntu's latest. Club Builder this week examines some alternative names, looks over Google Chrome's heritage, and a new Seinfeld ad for Microsoft debuts.
Open source is nothing to be afraid of, according to Mozilla's chief executive officer.

Windows 7 looks like the operating system that we've all been waiting for. Despite its imperfections, it shows a lot of promise for the future while presenting a stable platform that can compete comfortably with OS X.
The software maker launches its first major update to the browser in years, offering tabbed browsing and security additions.
Windows Vista Home Basic is essentially warmed-over Windows XP, Windows XP SP3. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use.
