Firefox and Norton: FIGHT!
Firefox 3.0.1 has been around for months, Norton 360 2.0 and Internet Security 2008 ditto. For many users, however, it would appear that the two cannot live happily together. So just what is the problem?

Google Chrome: not faster, safer or smaller after all
Like the iPhone, Google Chrome has been embraced by most of the media with rose-tinted spectacles enhanced praise. Much of the acclaim coming before anyone had actually even used the open source browser in a real-world environment. Now that it has been put to that test, how shiny can the Chrome reputation remain?

Discovering Mozilla Firefox: an introduction
During last week, I overheard someone fairly technically-savvy saying that he didn't want to switch to an alternative web browser, such as Mozilla Firefox, as he didn't know where things were and how to do basic things, such as setting his Home page. He said that learning something new was all too difficult and he'd just stick with Internet Explorer.

Internet Explorer 8 - does it rate as Firefox bait?
IE8 has finally launched in beta 2 mode, dubbed “ready” for consumers to play with and try, and so far, it seems to match the competition with long-overdue features, while adding some new ones of its own. Should you download it?

Face off part two: Windows vs Linux real world RAM and disk tests
Last week I put Windows Vista Ultimate and Fedora Linux 9 to a test. The article hit the front page of Digg but received a lot of criticism by those disappointed with the performance of Internet Explorer. So, let's dig deeper and use Firefox to see if Internet Explorer's memory footprint is actually a Windows Vista "feature" or not. It's time for the ultimate smackdown: Internet Explorer vs Firefox on Vista.

Face off: Windows vs Linux real world RAM and disk tests
Forget fear, uncertainty and doubt. How do Windows Vista and Linux really compare against each other? It’s one thing to talk about the familiar applications available to Windows users contrasted with the rich suite of free open source apps for Linux, but something totally different to actually compare the loads of the two operating systems as they perform functionally identical tasks.

Firefox 3 reaches new record but will IE 8 smash it?
Firefox 3 recorded more than 8 million downloads on “download day”, and
I can say I was responsible for one of those, as can 8 million others
worldwide. Still, it leaves me wondering how many will download IE 8
upon its release, and whether we should all just forget about IE and
Firefox and use Opera instead.

Make Firefox fly: building from a minefield of source
The new, record breaking, Firefox 3 web browser is the fastest version of Firefox yet. But are you really getting the biggest bang for your buck (metaphorically speaking, because, of course, Firefox is free?) You can eke out a better disk and memory footprint and higher speeds by building it yourself from the original source code. I'll show you how, with genuine metrics to prove it.
