“Firefox’s Private Browsing is plain, it’s less flexible, and it’s actually a little dull. But it does what it says it does and behaves the way one should reasonably expect. That’s why I’m judging the victor in Round 1 of this duel to be Firefox 3.5. If Chrome had given me even so much as a warning about not clearing my history yet, or an option to either retain my Incognito history for the duration of the Windows session or not, then I would have scored this one for Chrome.” Interesting review. The reviewer says he might have prefered the functionality of Chrome, had it been what he had been lead to expect – but it was not.

Still the One to Beat: Firefox 3.5’s speed, customizability, and support for new standards secure its spot as our Editors’ Choice Web browser.

“If you already use Firefox you’ll want to upgrade right away. If you’re not a Firefox user, this version represents a very good opportunity to give the browser a test run.”

“Bottom line: If you seek browser advice from me and we’re not in a hurry, I may assess your particular needs and suggest something other than Mozilla’s browser. But if time is of the essence, I’ll happily give the six-word recommendation I’ve provided countless times since 2004: You won’t go wrong with Firefox.”
