Google have released a Beta of their new browser, Google Chrome. This is an interesting development in the ‘browser wars’ and I wonder what effect it will have on my favourite browser Mozilla Firefox.

You can find out more about Google Chrome here.

The logo looks very similar to the old Simon electronic game of the 70s.

The Opera browser is not underrated but it is underused. It’s a great piece of software and has led the way with loads of innovative features that all browsers now contain. I wish it was used more as I do feel for this underdog. It’s really fast, looks slick and does everything better than than you would expect.

Download it and try it for yourself.

The new Firefox is ready. Firefox 3 is supposed to have more than 15,000 improvements, be faster, safer and smarter than ever before. Seems much the same to me but that’s not a problem. Expect new plugins, a tweaked interface and much improved address bar dubbed the ‘awe bar’

Download it and see what you think.

Hmm, a new Internet Explorer…

The first major update to Internet Explorer in five years - worth the wait? It has tabbed browsing now (just like Opera and Firefox), page zooming and an integrated search box (it took them a while to sort that out didn’t it?). It’s still not standards compliant but it’s much better than IE6. Is it better than Opera? Firefox? Err.. No. It is not. Loads of people will be using it and it will be the de facto standard browser never the less.
