If you are still using yesterday’s browsers such as Internet Explorer 6, It’s time for you to change. Why ? In general terms , the web standards have changed. In order to view every new website today perfectly with no compatibility issues, it’s best for you to change now. There are various open source web browsers today. Listed below are a top 5 list of browsers that you should download and try today. Feel free to stick to the one you love most. The order of best browsers are in a declining format. 

  1. Safari - Created & Developed by Apple. Its currently the industry most advanced browsers available. Its rated as the fastest too. This would be a personal recommendation of mine. The browser’s unique features such as window shifting simply increases your productivity. Allowing to place a window into a tab into another window with simple drag and drop concept. Comes built in with Mac OSX and also available for PC’s
  2. Firefox 2.0 - The most loved open source browser today. Developed by a non profitable organization called mozilla. This browser has been in great history records as it’s one of the early adopters of tabbed browsing. Current a beta for Firefox 3 is out. It claims to be the fastest. Its pretty good actually but I would not add it to this list until the actual version releases. Available for both PC & Mac
  3. Opera - Another superb browser. Currently its the most used browser in mobile phones. With its mini browser software, it currently dominates the mobile market. With new concept to screen shot browsing in tabled formats. I still doubt it would bit tabbed browsing. In overall its also a good choice. Available for both PC & Mac
  4. Internet Explorer 7 - Basically it follow much of Opera to me. Most Opera features could be seen in this version of internet explorer. It introduces tabbed browsing as well. Comes built in with Windows Vista. You may download it from the windows updates center for XP as well, only if you are using an original version. 
  5. Netscape Navigator 9 - Developed by AOL, a very popular browser in the early 90’s. It has done obviously many upgrades since then. It supports cross platforms, that means you are able to run it on either Windows, Mac OSX or Linux. 

No matter which browser you choose, do make sure to always keep it updated. Most of this browsers today notify you when a new update or upgrade is ready. So download and update it in order to stay updated with new web standards. So go on now and start switching.
