Google has fixed a flaw in Google Docs that allowed an attacker to hijack sessions on any Google service but security experts say that the real damage is being caused by Internet Explorer, not Google's technology.
Browser software company, Opera, has complained to the European Commission over Microsoft's bundling of Internet Explorer with the Windows operating system -- but Microsoft says it's been doing it for a decade and the practice is good for consumers.
The scalp of Mac OS X has been waved trophy-like after being hacked in controlled environments, yet security researchers are hard pressed remembering the last time a Mac was compromised in the wild.
Microsoft is still playing catch-up with Opera, Safari, and Firefox, but IE 8 beta 2 brings it one step closer to the competition.
Microsoft denies abusing its market position, claims IE supports a "wide range of Web standards" and says it has no intention of unbundling IE and Windows.
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.
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.
A rash of creativity has overcome browser vendors recently in a completely unexpected place: the content of the new tab page.
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.
Opera CTO Hkon Wium Lie must feel a special kinship with the "Band of Brothers" soliloquy that Shakespeare reserves for Henry V.
Opera Software has challenged Microsoft to develop a browser which adheres to standards but will Microsoft take it up?
So far, the open source browser has been getting a free ride -- nobody is criticising it. That is, until now.
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.
The for-pay Opera comes out with a new public beta of version 7. Will it rekindle the browser war? We take a sneak peek at the preview version.
The latest version of the Opera browser is using speed to take on Microsoft's dominance, with a rewritten version that loads pages more quickly.

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.
Opera, the self-described "fastest browser on earth," has decided to jettison its legacy code in favor of something a little faster.
