14 browser we bet is better than your default browser .

Here is the list of browser i bet will definatly make u change your default browser (if u are using other then list below).

Are there contenders in this list to subvert the web browsing
paradigm? What browser(s) do you use and why? Let us know in the
comments!

---

1. Mozilla Firefox

---

This open source, cross-platform favorite is the one almost everyone knows about already. With a huge number of available add-ons and even more customization available via user-created Greasemonkey scripts, Mozilla’s Firefox offers a highly tweakable browsing experience for power users.

The latest version 3.5 is supposedly faster than ever, but in
practice I personally find it feels subjectively slower than past
iterations. Have any feedback on its browsing speed? Let us know in the
comments.

2. Apple Safari

---

Based on the open source browser engine WebKit, Apple’s Safari 4 is available for both Mac and Windows machines. Featuring support for HTML 5 media tags and loads of extras, Safari is a full-featured contender for your web browsing arsenal.

---

3. Google Chrome

---

Officially only released for Windows so far, Google Chrome is yet available to the adventurous Macintosh or Linux user by grabbing the Chromium nightly builds (which we’ve found to be quite stable overall).

Based also on WebKit’s layout engine and application framework, Chrome
prides itself on browsing speed and to that end we find it delivers.
This one has been gaining market share quickly and is definitely one to
watch in the browser space.

---

4. Internet Explorer 8

---

If you’re a staunch supporter of the IE lineage and want to stick
with it, then there’s no reason not to upgrade to the latest version, Internet Explorer 8.
It offers better web standards compliance and enhanced performance when
working with dynamic sites built with AJAX, which in this day and age
tend to be a majority of the great social sites we use daily.

---

5. Opera

---

With a history of innovation and standards support, Opera
has been a respectable browser option since the late 90s. Though it’s
never captured quite as much market share as one might expect, its
highly usable implementation on mobile devices nevertheless makes it a
browser with a broad and multi-platform reach.

---

6. Camino

---

Camino is a
Mac-only browser dedicated to providing the best specifically Mac web
browsing experience for OS X users. An open source project based on
Mozilla’s layout engine, Camino also features add-ons and integrates with a number of OS X features and services.

If you currently use Safari and want to give Camino a try, they have a handy migration guide for getting your settings and data ported over.

---

7. Flock

---

Billing itself as the “social web browser,” Flock features a number of social media integrations with sites like Twitter Flickr Facebook Blogger Picasa, Gmail and more.

Available for Mac, Windows and Linux
Flock is also powered by the Mozilla application framework. When it
first launched it sparked lots of debate regarding whether a
specialized approach would be viable in the marketplace versus
something as customizable to your needs as Firefox
What do you think — is the service-integrated approach of Flock
valuable? Have you used the browser? Let us know your impressions in
the comments.

---

8. Seamonkey

---

Wait — another browser from Mozilla based on Mozilla? Yep. The Seamonkey Project inherits the application suite-ideology of what was once the Mozilla Application Suite, bundling a web browser together with an e-mail and newsgroup client, IRC chat client and HTML editing.

If you’re looking for an all-in-one internet suite that integrates
all the above functions, you can give Seamonkey a try for Macintosh,
Windows or Linux platforms.

---

9. Konqueror

---

For Linux users only, Konqueror
is both an open source web browser and a file manager designed as a
core element of the K Desktop Environment (KDE). Its name comes from
the browser landscape at the time of its initial release in 1996:
“first comes the Navigator, then Explorer, and then the Konqueror.”

Though it hasn’t quite conquered the browser market just yet,
Konqueror is a popular choice for Linux users. Is Konqueror one of your
browsers of choice? Let us know why Linux users should consider it in
the comments.

---

10. K-Meleon

---

For Windows only, K-Meleon
is focused on being extremely fast and lightweight while also remaining
customizable. Also based on Mozilla’s Gecko layout engine, the look and
feel is crafted via the native Windows API to integrate tightly with
the user interface of the Windows desktop.

---

11. Shiira

---

Another Mac-only offering, the Shiira browser
is based on WebKit like Safari and written in Cocoa. The bold goal of
the project is to “create a browser that is better and more useful than
Safari.”

Have you tried Shiira? How close is it to achieving its lofty goal? Let us know in the comments.

---

12. Maxthon

---

Maxthon is
another Windows-only browser option, originally developed in China with
the idea of making a browser with a more customizeable interface than Internet Explorer Hugely popular in China, it also has a bit of a cult following elsewhere for its power features and customization options.

If you don’t mind a bit of obtuse configuration options and a more
utilitarian interface in exchange for all the extra options, you might
want to give Maxthon a try.

---

13. iCab

---

One of the only non-free options on this list, iCab
is a Mac-only browser that carries a shareware cost of $20, but can
also be used as “nagware” for free (you’ll have to tolerate the
periodic requests to register the software). It boasts a number of features it says aren’t found in other browsers.

Have you used iCab? Is it worth shelling out actual money for a web browser, and are the features it touts worth the cost?

---

14. OmniWeb

---

Yet another Mac-exclusive browser, OmniWeb is a project of the Omni Group whose other fine software includes great apps like OmniFocus, OmniGraffle and OmniOutliner.

Developed using the Cocoa API, OmniWeb takes advantages of many of
the features of the OS X operating system. Once a paid app, the Omni
Group earlier this year announced that OmniWeb was going free of charge.

have a good argument about why your daily browser is your favorite? Let
