Top 10 Web Browsers

You use it everyday for online shopping, communication, and online entertainment. They can dramatically change the way you interact with the web, and they're free. Why not use one you'll like?

#1 Firefox

Experience the simplistic power of Firefox, one of the original FREE Internet browsers and “TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award” winner. This web browser packs top–notch features and blazing speed into a tidy, intuitive interface that will help you navigate the web the way you want to.

#2Google Chrome

Google has joined the Internet browser competition full force with a very impressive entry, Chrome. Google Chrome takes a unique approach to browsing the web, combining top notch features with speed, compatibility, and simplicity.

#3 Internet Explorer

Microsoft's current standard is Internet Explorer 8. This browser outperforms its ancestors with tighter security, private browsing and a clean look and is in 3rd place in our review.

#4 Opera

Opera sings to a different tune, and it sounds great. This browser has all of the entertaining and practical features that will not only make surfing the web functional, but also fun.

#5 Safari

Safari is not an Apple exclusive anymore; the top-notch browser is now available for PCs as well. Safari provides the Mac look and feel in Internet browsing. It is complete with tabbed browsing that includes a save tabs feature.

#6 Maxthon

Maxthon is a versatile browser that you can tailor to fit your web browsing needs. Customization options include the security settings, the interface layout, and useful plugins that you can download like a personal information management tool, decorative skins and the Google Toolbar.

#7 Flock

Flock is the Internet browser targeted towards social butterflies. Flock is the Mozilla powered browser that specifically meets the needs of online social networkers by helping you keep informed when friends post or a favorite site is updated. It has a slick interface and plenty of features.

#8 Avant Browser

Avant Browser is an Internet Explorer based, no-frills web browser. Avant includes basic mouse gestures, tabbed browsing with movable tabs, and a full 500% zoom. It falls short in comparison with our higher ranked Internet browsers, but is a fairly professional looking alternative.

#9 Deepnet Explorer

Deepnet Explorer is a fair browser in that it has a handful of features, but nothing that overly impresses. Deepnet Explorer's primary focus is on facilitating P2P networking and RSS feeds. It offers several useful tools and features, but fails to deliver all that the best browsers do.

#10 PhaseOut

PhaseOut is a flash-based shell for Internet Explorer. It adds some really impressive looking graphics and customizable skins to your web browsing experience. If futuristic looks and space inspired graphics are your thing, you might want to consider PhaseOut.
