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.
