The Free Software Catalog

Browsers

There are a number of really good browsers available for free. The most popular is Internet Explorer. This is probably because it comes with Windows and is pre-installed on most machines. If you like IE and you are still using version 6 you should upgrade to 7. It provides additional security and usability to features that most users will like.

If you haven't tried Firefox then you should. It is my favorite browser and one that I use for almost all surfing - I use the others primarily to validate my web design work. The add-on collection available for Firefox is extensive and allows each user to truly personalize the way Firefox looks, feels and works.
