Here are the 6 best alternatives: 

Apple Safari – If you’re reading this newsletter on a Mac, chances are you’re using Safari already.  Safari looks like Macs look and offers a simple, intuitive browsing experience.  It’s also available for Windows, in case you want the Mac experience on your PC.  Similarly to Firefox, Safari also has high safety standards but there is a lack of add ons to personalise your browsing experience.

Camino – Camino is a Mac-only browser dedicated to providing the best web browsing experience for OS X users.  With its slogan, “Mozilla power, Mac style”, it concentrates on integrating Mozilla’s technology with Mac OS X in a way that Firefox hasn’t managed to do itself.

Flock – Flock is a “social browser” built on a Firefox core and optimised for web services such as blogging, photo sharing and bookmark sharing.  This means that you can expect great support for Blogger, TypePad, Wordpress, Flickr, Photobucket, del.icio.us and Shadows. Available for Mac, Windows and Linux.

Google Chrome – Chrome is designed by Google to run fast and lean, so if you’re concerned about resource usage on your computer, this is the browser for you.  Chrome has both stability and security and is gaining market share quickly. It can also be used with any operating systems.

Mozilla Firefox – A free, open-source alternative to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and the second most widely-used browser in the world.  Because it’s open source origins, programmers routinely fix security issues as well as develop many useful plugins to enhance its operations and personalise your browsing experience.  It also has embedded memory so that if your computer crashes while you’re browsing a number of websites, or gets turned off by mistake, they will normally be restored when you re-launch the browser.  It can be used with any operating system.

Opera – This lesser-known free browser is one of the fastest browsers out there right now.  Opera is also considered one of the most secure browsers and its mobile browser is among the best, too.  Its “Turbo Mode” can help load websites quickly, particularly over poor or dial-up connections, but you have to remember to turn off Turbo Mode when visiting sites like YouTube, or you may find it crashes.  It is optimized for users who have visual or motor impairments and routinely wins awards for usability.  It also works on all operating systems.
