  • Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7,Microsoft Windows Vista,Microsoft Windows XP
Chrome's minimalist design isn't eye-catching, but its lean toolbar leaves more room for viewing Web pages. And what Chrome lacks in flashiness, it more than makes up for in performance. Google's browser really shone in our JavaScript test, leaving its competitors in the dust. The browser also performed admirably in our speed test, fully loading an image-heavy page in just over 5 seconds. - Megan Geuss

  • File Size: 5.4
  • License: Free
  • Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7,Microsoft Windows Vista,Microsoft Windows XP
Rockmelt was built on Google's Chromium browser framework, but it's designed to appeal to social media fanatics. You have to sign in through Facebook to use most of its features. RockMelt uses your Facebook account to automatically sync settings and bookmarks among computers and any devices running the RockMelt iOS app. Overall, the fledgling browser works really quickly. - Megan Geuss

Which Browser Should You Use?Everyone needs a browser, but it can be hard to decide which one you actually want. Are you looking for something blazing fast? Or maybe youve been burned in the past and youre looking for a browser with the tightest security. Or you need add-ons--lots and lots of add-ons. We found Firefox 10 the most versatile, IE9 the most secure, Opera 11 the fastest at loading pages, and Chrome 16 the best overall...but each of these browsers has its own appeal.
