Mozilla Firefox 3.5
Pros: New Private Browsing Mode catches up to similar IE 8.0 and Google Chrome functionality; better web application performance; support for emerging HTML standards
Cons: Still not as easily deployable by businesses as is IE
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Recommendation: Mozilla's latest browser is its best yet. Mozilla Firefox 3.5 is a rock-solid, highly-capable alternative to Microsoft Internet Explorer. The browser's main strengths—extensibility, compatibility, and performance—continue in Firefox 3.5 and are augmented with improvements. One minor downside: Mozilla still doesn't support corporate deployments as seamlessly as does Microsoft.
