4 Better Web Browsers for Linux and Everyone Else

Our Web browsers do everything these days, and they're also the #1 malware vector. Eric Geier reviews four excellent Web browsers for Linux, Mac, and Windows users that are safer, friendlier, and better than Internet Explorer.

Just about all the mainstream web browsers today are available for download in Linux. Since most of your computing time is likely spent in front of the browser, you shouldn't just settle with the one that came preinstalled with your distribution. We'll review four different browsers you can use in Linux, where you can pick the one that's best for you.

Before we discuss the unique features of these browsers, I should point out a couple features included in all of them. Some of these features might be new to you if you're coming from Internet Explorer. They each have some sort of pop-up blocker and phishing/malware protection. Additionally, they all have an integrated spell checker, which can really be invaluable. Each browser (except Flock 2.6.1) has a synchronization feature so your settings and favorites will be the same across all your computers. Plus they also have some sort of password and download manager.
Firefox 4

Mozilla's Firefox is the most popular open source web browser. It's available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. The current stable release is Firefox 3.6, however, we're discussing the Beta version of Firefox 4.

Most modern browsers have hidden the traditional menu on the toolbar to simplify the interface and maximize webpage viewing. However, as you can see in Figure 1, the Linux version of Firefox 4 hasn't been streamlined yet--the Windows version already has.

In Firefox you can view all the usernames and passwords saved by the browser, nice if you forget the login credentials to a site. You can even protect them with a master password, safe guarding them from others users. The other browsers don't include this protection. Another unique feature of Firefox is a screenshot utility, accessible from the icon in lower right corner. It can capture the visible portion or entire webpages.

Every browser has its annoyances. In Firefox 4, for example, new tabs open to a blank page, rather than your homepage or list of suggested sites like other browsers. It would also be better if searching was integrated into the address bar rather than having to click in a separate search box. The download manager lets you pause downloads but doesn't resume automatically after a connection interruption.
Opera 10.63

Opera is a web browser for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. We're discussing the current version: 10.63. Opera Software also develops their browser for mobile phones and devices, including BlackBerry, iPhone/iPod/iPad, Windows Mobile, and Android. You'll even find Opera on the Nintendo DSi and Wii.

The interface of Opera 10.63 has been streamlined. The traditional menu has be replaced with a menu button in the upper-right corner, as you see in Figure 2, maximizing webpage viewing.

In addition to the synchronization of browser settings and favorites, Opera lets you remotely access and share files with their Opera Unite service. Another unique feature is that Opera can auto-fill forms on webpages with set values for your name, address, and other personal information.

Opera is a solid feature-packed browser but still could be improved. For example, you can view the list of sites where you have passwords saved but can't see the actual passwords like in Firefox. The search interface could also be improved. You can enter search terms in the address box, which will use your default search engine, but it would be nice to integrate the full search box functionality in the address box like in Internet Explorer 9. This would eliminate the need for a separate search box.

Microsoft Office 2010 Reaches Beta, Bringing Productivity Gains to the PC, Phone and Browser

LOS ANGELES — Nov. 18, 2009 — Earlier this year Microsoft introduced the technical preview program for Microsoft Office 2010, the next version of Microsoft Office and related products, which are designed to deliver the best productivity experience across the PC, phone and browser; help people work better together; and give them new capabilities to bring their ideas to life with text, video and images.

Following the successful technical preview program, today at the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference (PDC) Microsoft is unveiling the public beta of Office 2010, SharePoint Server 2010, Project 2010, Visio 2010, Office Web Apps for businesses and Office Mobile 2010.

PressPass spoke with Kurt DelBene, senior vice president of the Office Business Productivity Group at Microsoft, who announced the Office news in his keynote address at PDC, to ask him about the new release and what it means for the developer community.

PressPass: Can you tell us more details about what you are announcing today?

DelBene: We’re excited to announce the public beta of the 2010 versions of Office, SharePoint Server, Visio, Project and Office Web Apps for business customers. Office Mobile 2010 has also reached the beta milestone. Starting today people can download the beta products by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/2010.

We are hoping to have millions of people download and test the products, as we depend on that feedback to shape the final product. To get the broadest range of feedback we are making this beta available in seven languages — English, Spanish, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Russian, French and German — more than any other Office beta program in the past.

Office Mobile 2010 is also now available in beta, making the Office experience across the PC, phone and browser a reality. Office Mobile 2010 includes mobile versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and new SharePoint Workspace Mobile 2010, and is available worldwide in Windows Marketplace for Mobile for Windows Mobile 6.5 phones.

We’re also announcing several new features in Office 2010. One key new offering is the Outlook Social Connector, which brings communications history, business collaboration and social network feeds directly into Outlook, with support for Windows Live and SharePoint Server. For developers, we’re also releasing the Outlook Social Connector SDK to help them easily build connectors to third-party social networks, and we’re pleased to announce today that professional network LinkedIn will be the first site to provide a connector for Outlook Social Connector early next year.

Finally, building on the strength and success of its ongoing partnership with SAP, Microsoft also announced plans to deliver a new product named Duet Enterprise for Microsoft SharePoint and SAP. With tens of thousands of joint customers around the world, bringing SAP applications and business processes together with Microsoft SharePoint creates the opportunity to release a new wave of productivity gains for end users. Duet Enterprise for Microsoft SharePoint and SAP will provide customers and partners with the opportunity to compose solutions based upon Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and SAP, enable additional interoperability, and blend the worlds of process and collaboration. The solution is planned to be released in the second half of 2010.
