Review summary	IE 7 was Microsoft's one chance to leapfrog ahead of the competition, but the company has only barely caught sight of the current front-runners. For more features and greater security, switch to Mozilla Firefox.	Unless your business has specific ActiveX technology needs, you are much more secure running Firefox than Internet Explorer.	Apple Safari RSS, the default Mac OS X browser, beats Opera, Firefox, and Internet Explorer as the best Web browser for Mac users.	If you're only after speed, try Safari but keep your other browser, too. Try Camino if you crave advanced settings.	If only for the speed, lightness of being, and security alone, Firefox remains our Editors' Choice for best Internet browser.
