Freeware Mission – Best Free Web Browser

by Mike 18 July 2008 9 Comments

If you read yesterday’s post you know that my system has crashed and I had to reinstall Windows XP. The “Freeware Mission” means that I’ll try to install only free software on my computer. First of all I need a web browser. Which one should I choose?

Well, the choice is quite simple. I’ve been using Firefox for years now, and it’s been a good reliable program for me. I won’t change it, so the free web browser for me is Firefox, no doubt about that! You can download the latest version from here, it’s free!

My Evaluation	9.5
Operating System	Win 2000, XP, Vista , Mac OSX 10.4 and later
Size	7.1 MB
Author	Mozilla
Version Tested	3.0.1

Which reminds me, I reviewed a few weeks ago a nice piece of freeware called MozBackup, a free Firefox and Thunderbird backup tool. Fortunately I backed up my Firefox settings when I tested the program, so now I was able to restore all my bookmarks, passwords, settings, everything! That saved me a lot of time and energy! You can download it from here.

My Evaluation	9
Operating System	Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista
Size	776 KB
Author	Pavel Cvrcek
Version Tested	1.4.8

The new Opera got a facelift and has won its speed title back. For those who don’t like the new facelift, there is the previous version, or skins. Opera has 150 Firefox-like plugins built-in, is fully customizable, plus has other little touches that are nowhere to be found when I use Firefox. If you haven’t tried Opera in awhile, give it a try for a week. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Hi, congratulation for your blog, it is great! I was thinking maybe you could also add a section for best freeware operating system. I’m quite happy with Ubuntu here.

Thanks for your kind words. As for the operating system, I didn’t test any free OS so far, but I’m planning to do so. I heard a lot of good things about Ubuntu, so I think I’ll give it a go.

Opera runs on Linux too, so you might as well…

Nice site, I’ve liked it very much.
The blog “A Little Bit of Everything” isn’t working anymore.
