![]() Overall, though, the browsers reflect a remarkable consensus about what's important. The new Firefox has some of the fanciest features for managing tabs, including the ability to organize related ones into groups. Chrome, for instance, is the only browser with its own app store, and Safari has a mode that strips content down to its bare essentials for easy reading. It's not that they have no distinguishing characteristics. ![]() (See "Browser Beware: Washington Weighs Online Consumer Privacy.") (That's a feat some folks manage to accomplish: 12% of Internet users are still running the decade-old anachronism known as Internet Explorer 6.) But as good as all the current browsers are, they're all good in many of the same ways. With IE9's arrival, in fact, you have to go out of your way to be stuck with a bad browser. And so is a perennial underdog, Norway's Opera. So is Apple's Safari, which is available for Windows as well as serving as the default browser on Macs. Last week, Google introduced Chrome 10, which it bills as "speedier, simpler and safer." (It's a sign of the torrid pace at which Google improves Chrome that it hit version 10 just 2½ years after its debut Internet Explorer took 16 years to get to version 9.) Mozilla, the nonprofit responsible for Firefox, will release the final version of Firefox 4 on March 22, delayed from the original target date of November 2010.įirefox 4, in beta form, is already the browser I use most often. Microsoft's rollout comes during an uncommonly busy month for the browser business. (IE9 supports only Windows 7 and Windows Vista.) Which is good news for the 57% of Web users who run Internet Explorer even though a sizable chunk of them won't be able to try it until they upgrade, at long last, from Windows XP. All in all, it's easily the best new Microsoft browser since the 1990s. It also sports some slick tie-ins with Windows 7, like the ability to "pin" any site to the Windows Taskbar for one-click access. IE9 has a streamlined, clutter-free interface that is strongly reminiscent of the one pioneered by browser-aficionado favorite Google Chrome. (See TIME's March 2011 cover story on data mining.) And it can leverage all of the awesome power of the high-powered graphics chips inside new PCs, so sites can feature animation and other fancy effects without bogging down the browser. For instance, the browser is designed to correctly support current and upcoming Internet standards and technologies, something earlier versions of IE were famous for not doing. Much of what's new about IE9 is meant to excite developers, content creators and others who shape the Web. In this case, though, unveiling a new version of Internet Explorer at a geekfest had a certain logic. (Along with Microsoft products in general: I must have spotted a couple dozen MacBooks in use at the conference for every Windows laptop.) The company celebrated the launch with a press event and party at the South by Southwest Interactive conference in Austin a move that had a whiff of cognitive dissonance considering that elite techies of the sort who attend SXSW long ago abandoned IE. Follow March 14, six months after Microsoft released the first full-blown beta version of Internet Explorer 9, it made the final version of its new Web browser available for download.
