Web Browsers

Strictly speaking, a browser is software that you use to view and interact with Web sites on the Internet. It may be the most important Web tool you have. Luckily for consumers, Web browsers are mostly free and getting better because firms like Microsoft and AOL that develop this software believe that controlling access to the Net gives you a leg-up competitively when it comes to generating revenues from things like subscription services, Web advertising and operating software. So they make their browsers free and chock full of bells and whistles. However, the barriers to entry in the browser market are low and other more nimble players have developed alternatives that are now superior in many ways to market leading browsers like Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, which controls 90% of the market. Below you will find browsers that scan and load Web pages faster, offer plenty of perks and tend to keep you safer from viruses and spyware than most of the big boys. — Matt Rand
