Our Analysis

Firefox remains the top-ranked web browser for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux users. It's by far the most-customizable web browser, with thousands of add-ins available. Reviews say Firefox 3 and the even-faster 3.1 beta are the best, using less memory than Firefox 2 and incorporating other improvements as well. Both Firefox 3 and 3.1 rival the new Google Chrome for speed, are much faster and use fewer system resources than Internet Explorer 8.

We found the best comparison reviews of the latest version of Firefox (3.1 beta) at TechRadar.com and PC World magazine, both of which compare it with Google Chrome and Internet Explorer 8. Softpedia.com reviews and rates all three browsers, plus Flock 2 and Opera 9.6 in separate reviews. PC Magazine, CNet.com and The Wall Street Journal provide excellent comparison tests of Firefox 3, the next-to-latest version. Tests at Gadgets-Reviews.com are less helpful because the reviewer doesn't clarify which version of Firefox is covered.
