In many ways, the mobile browser world is even more competitive than the desktop browser world, which is essentially dominated by the Big Three (Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox). But with many other viable mobile browser options vying for the attention of users, the usual browser giants have had to step up their game in order to attract a following on other devices.
Now that it has expanded its compatibility to 15 million devices (offering solid performance on two- and three-year-old hardware), Firefox for Android is becoming a mobile web browser to watch.
Features such as per-tab private browsing and desktop-to-mobile syncing have made Firefox for Android a desirable pick, as have the typical promises of speed and overall security.

As January draws to a close, it’s time for all of us to set our sights on the next big holiday coming down the pike: Valentine’s Day.
It’s a polarizing holiday, that’s for sure. But we’re pretty sure the Valentine’s Day detractors are made up mostly of bitter people who simply don’t have anyone to celebrate with. While that is understandably upsetting, the rest of us love it. Sure, there is the common complaint – “Why do I need to be told when to celebrate my relationship? Shouldn’t Valentine’s Day be every day?” – but what’s wrong with celebrating love? Also, no one wants to celebrate Valentine’s Day every day. That would get exhausting.
However, in the days leading up to Valentine’s Day, go wild! A Valentine’s Day Firefox persona or theme is the perfect way to show your love for, well, this tremendous day of love. You can choose from just about anything – including standard fare such as flowers, hearts and candy – ensuring that you’ll find something that will make this Valentine’s Day extra special.

The Internet browser wars have been raging on for a while now, with Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Google Chrome (though Safari is in the fold) essentially jockeying back and forth to become the most popular/safest/fastest etc. options out there.
As these browser giants compete, users win. Significant updates are rolled out on a regular basis as each one tries to separate itself from the competition.
But who is really winning? Which is truly the best internet browser? As we turn the page to 2013 and look back on a frenzied 2012, we have learned that the major browsers continue to fight for the top position, while a major focus has turned to the mobile world.

The battle for Internet browser supremacy has been narrowed to three competitors: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and the old mainstay, Internet Explorer. While Internet Explorer remains a key player – especially after its latest overhaul and marketing campaign – Chrome has captured the majority of online users.
The battle for mobile browser supremacy is another story, though. While Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft are all in the game, plenty of other players – such as Safari, Opera, RockMelt, Aurora and more – have an influence.
So who exactly is winning the mobile browser war?
It’s tough to say – the best mobile browser is going to load quickly and offer a streamlined version of its desktop version; it won’t just a scaled-down replica. It’ll make switching between tabs easier (often with the swipe of a finger) and won’t look cluttered.
The list of mobile browsers goes on and on, but here are a few that are trying to separate themselves from the competition:

The Judges Have Spoken
The finalists of Brand Thunder’s Pop Culture Theme Contest have emerged. After many hours of debate and many libations… I mean, much deliberation we finally got some responses that were vaguely intelligible and could use.
Below you’ll find the three semi-finalist themes that our mystery judges decided on as worthy contenders for the Most Popular Theme category. To help choose the ultimate winner, go to our poll on Facebook and cast your ballot! You’ve been hearing this a lot lately, but your vote counts – so do your civic duty now. You have until Thursday, November 8, to vote for your favorite of the three themes below.
The winner of the Judges choice and Best Design will be announced on Monday, November 5. We probably could have had that announcement today, but our friends from the TV industry said it was good for the ratings if we had a cliff hanger and got people to tune in next week. 4AM at Denny’s is no place to discuss the differences between the Internet and broadcast television – so Monday it is.
