There are a huge no. of browsers on the net now…

Each firm makes its own version..

Soon i am also going to launch my own simple browser..

Download link of all latest browsers included…

Just click the heading

Mozilla Firefox

One of the best web-browser that I had seen yet. They launched the new version on 17^th June.

Well the Firefox 3 is quite disappointing as on the first day it crashed a lot of times. This I have seen

Only in this and all others have never crashed this frequently, Well I hope they would fix that soon.

It is fully customizable and can make it wonderful with a few add-ons and tweaks. The trick to make

it 10 times faster is there on my blog, see that for sure.

Internet Explorer

That comes at no.2 in my list. That is the most use browser in the world. It comes with a Microsoft

OS. And that is the reason it’s used the most. It’s simple but a few tweaks make it fast.

Netscape Navigator

That browser was quite famous once. But I haven’t heard much of it ever since. Well once it ruled the net world.

Safari

That is the Apple version of browser. Due to increasing popularity of apple this ad became quite

popular. Worth a try, gives a new look and feel.

Opera

It’s another open source web browser. Famous for its easy use and is heavily customizable. Some

Say that its fast but I thinks the fastest it the Mozilla.

Flock

The social web-browser as they call it. It is an open source web-browser. It is free to use, it is very useful when you are in to social websites. It has a lot of features that help us in social browsing.

Avant

Certainly one to watch out for.. The browser’s really good. And worth a try. They claim it as the world’s fastest browser.

Maxthon

Well another free and easy to use browser.

Well this is one list of some web-browser i found on the net..

All browsers based on the way they are made…
