PC World has joined the rather large list of awarding companies for the Mozilla Firefox web browser. They awarded Firefox the “Product of the year” award and summarized it thus:
This open-source program is streamlined, customizable, and just plain better. No wonder it has attracted millions of users in just a few months. Is it merely a coincidence that Microsoft finally plans to give the aging Internet Explorer the major overhaul it has needed for years?
PC Worlds review of Firefox is fairly basic compared to some, but the conclusion is much like all the others. In short, other browsers may be better at a particular task then Firefox, but overall Firefox is the best general purpose web browser.
With over 60 million downloads, literally dozens of awards, growing market share statistics, and a soon to be released improved 1.1 version (currently in Alpha release) Firefox doesn’t look like slowing down any time soon.
