1.1.1.1. http://techie-buzz.com/browsers/internet-explorer-firefox-and-safari-gets-pwned.html
1.1.2. Offers a high level of customisability due to third-party support for its extensible architecture, which lets you install add-on programs to give the browser extra capabilities. This helps keep Firefox relatively lean, but allows individual users to add specific features that they like.

1.2. Cons
1.2.1. Mozilla claims Firefox 3.5 is more than twice as fast as Firefox 3, and 10 times as fast as Firefox 2, but our testing shows it still lags behind Chrome, Safari and Opera.

2. Chrome
2.1. Pros
2.1.1. It proved itself to be the most secure browser in the Pwn2Own contest, and now Google has pushed through Chrome Beta 5 for Windows. Chrome 5 introduces a host of new features including Windows 7 Taskbar Tabs and an intelligent form filler.

2.1.3. Apparently Google Chrome’s native sandbox combined with built-in Windows protections make the browser nearly impossible to crack (even harder than the second-toughest combo to compromise, IE8 on Windows 7).

4. Explorer
4.1. Pros
