peaking of internet and internet browsers there’s cold war between the major companies that has been taking place for the last 15 years. One of the first browsers that has appeared was Internet Explorer from Microsoft and soon after Internet Explorer came Netscape. After Internet Explorer and Netscape other browsers showed up such as Opera, Firefox and Safari. Although Internet Explorer was leading browser in the 90’s many people are using alternatives such as Firefox because Internet Explorer has many compatibility issues. Although Internet Explorer was dominant browser back in the 90’s it has lost its popularity over time but not its audience. Today Internet Explorer is used by 51% of the internet users while Firefox is on second place with 31%. Besides Internet Explorer and Firefox there’s a new browser that has appeared in the end of 2008 and that browser came from Google. Of course, we’re talking about Google Chrome that became third most used browser in the world for just two years.

Google Chrome offered simplicity to its users but unlike Firefox, Google Chrome didn’t support any extensions until recently. Google is constantly working on improvements when it comes to Google Chrome and after extensions we’re about to see some new stuff in the latest version of Chrome. Interesting thing is that the latest version of Chrome will be able to synchronize your extensions and history, and not just bookmarks like the current version. In addition, Chrome 6 will make better use of multi-core processors and it will be able to resample non-native image sizes in the background while it loads the rest of the page. Some highly anticipated features will not be implanted in this version such as side tabs and Native mode that will allow only native apps to run within browser itself. Even though we don’t know the official release date of Chrome 6 we’re hoping that we’ll see the latest version of this amazing browser soon enough.

Mozilla Firefox since its arrival has been one of the pioneering internet browsers today in the computing world. They have once again taken a step towards impressing their customers by implementing a key security patch. Ever since Mozilla 3.5 got unveiled, it has had a rocky going and many users had complaints of some drive-by attacks. Now this attractive browser software has introduced a key JavaScript update. This update is now compliant with the Mozilla Firefox version 3.5 which has got released just two weeks back.

When we take a look on what browser manufacturers strive for to meet the needs of the users, we infer that speed is the most sought after quality that people look forward to and in this process of going for it, the browser manufactures end up concentrating less on security and privacy issues. Also attackers nowadays love a faster JavaScript to carry out their attacks on browsers so it ends up playing into their hands.

But the question of utmost security still remains in the minds of the users. The SSL sites now take a lot of problems in loading all the images and sites unless the users go for the “Reload” option in Mozilla. Also some antivirus software like AVG will now cause further problems for the users because the “Enter” option in Firefox will not work with this antivirus software. Also there are now many reasons why Mozilla may crash and cause more headaches to the users. The problems for the moment remains and Mozilla have promised to act quickly on all these issues.
