The Web browser space is heating up again. First Microsoft launched beta 2 of its IE 8, which is being touted as one of their most secure, reliable and efficient browsers yet, then Google stunned the world by entering the browser race with Chrome. And as if these two beta releases were not enough, developers got two more beta browsers from the other big names in the browser space: Opera and Mozilla. Following Chrome's release, Opera released the beta for their next upcoming browser version 9.6. And in mid-October it was Mozilla to release the beta for next Firefox browser code-named as "Shiretoko". With so many releases expected, it's only obvious that there is a browser war is in the making. But now this competition has ventured into beta stages of the browsers, and it won't be wrong to term this competition as Beta Browser War. As browser providers are trying to attract more user-base by announcing the major enhancements or features in their beta releases.
