Abstract
  • As the popularity of the World Wide Web increases, newer and better web browsers are continually emerging. The study described in the paper attempts to develop a standard framework for the purpose of evaluating and comparing web browsers as they become available. The framework criteria identified include performance, security, user interface design, usability, and Auxiliary Functionalities. Using these criteria, the author compared the new Safari web browser (public beta) by Apple Inc. with the more popular IE Mac 5 and the Camino browsers. The results indicate that using the framework makes different browsers more comparable and also allows the reviewer to provide users with a more complete picture of the products.
