Another Firefox Update
Firefox has just released another new version. Firefox 7 is out only six weeks after version 6. Version 7 is suppose to use much less memory and therefore may not crash as often when you have quite a few tabs open (like me) or leave it open for long periods of time. Go ahead and update Firefox to the new Firefox 7.

Firefox 4.0 RC
After quite a few beta releases, Firefox 4 finally entered the “release candidate” stage recently.
So, assuming that no fatal bugs emerge, this version (minus any minor bugs) will soon be released as a final product that is up to six times faster than its predecessors, features a new minimalist interface and incorporates long-awaited sync and panorama features.
You can download the RC version which we can say is very stable for a look at all the new features.

Battle of the Browsers
The Battle of the Browsers – The History and the Future of Internet Browsers
by: Nicholas C Smith
With Internet Explorer 8 now available, can Microsoft hope to retain market dominance over fierce open source rivals such as Mozilla’s Firefox or the feature packed Opera web browser. Can history give us a clue to what the future of web browsers/browsing might hold? How did Netscape Navigator go from having a dominant 89.36% market share of all web browsers in 1996 and yet only 3.76% by mid 1999?
Let us take a journey that will begin long before even the intellectual conception of Internet Explorer, that will glance at its long defeated rivals, examine the current browsers available and will end with a prediction of what the future of browsing will offer us – and which browser(s) will still be around to offer it.
People often think that Internet Explorer has been the dominant web browser since the golden age of the internet began. Well for a very long time now it has indeed been the most popular browser and at times been almost totally unrivalled. This was mainly a result of it being packaged free with Microsoft Windows, in what some would later call a brutal monopolisation attempt by Microsoft. The last few years however have heralded the arrival of new, possibly superior browsers. Mozilla’s Firefox has been particularly successful at chipping away at Explorers market dominance. So where did it all begin, and why were Microsoft ever allowed to have a hundred percent market dominance?
