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.
On Wednesday in the US, Microsoft released the second public beta for Internet Explorer 8.
Apple's Safari browser is able to display richer, more deeper colours than either Internet Explorer or Opera -- but Firefox is expected to catch up in the next month.
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.
A rash of creativity has overcome browser vendors recently in a completely unexpected place: the content of the new tab page.
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 ...)
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".
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 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.
But security firm also finds that Microsoft's IE is the only browser widely exploited by hackers today.
The security flaws plaguing Internet Explorer has led to a renewed interest in other browser options, with market research pointing to Firefox as the leading choice. But a bigger problem, if left unresolved, could lead to corporate bottom lines being affected.
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.
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 browser war is over. What Mozilla, (the basis for future versions of Netscape) offers is more akin to a browser insurrection.
The Mozilla.org open-source project introduced the latest version of its Web browser this week, aimed at improving speed and performance, but the software still has a ways to go, some consumers say.
A list making the rounds on the Internet's newsgroups and discussion boards says you can do more things with the Mozilla browser than you can with Microsoft's Internet Explorer--101 things, to be precise.
