CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Installing this browser reminds us of a game called Find 10 differences. Overtly speaking, Ideal Browser is not only based on Mozilla Firefox, it is its clone, supposedly created for promoting the WebCrawler search engine. As for the features missing in the original Firefox installation package, you can easily get them with Firefox just by installing plug-ins and extensions. However, if you are too lazy for this, Ideal Browser makes your life easier. It bundles media plug-ins and an extension enhancing tabbed browsing. All told, we recommend this totally free browser only if you don t already have Firefox installed.Publisher's description
From Ideal Product Group :If you haven't already switched to Firefox or have given up on IE, try the Ideal Firefox Browser. Introducing for the first time, a powerful metasearch technology that delivers results from all major search engines simultaneously allowing you find a broader range of top-ranked results. In addition, many of the extensions and plug-ins you used to have to hunt for are now included. Includes increased privacy and security to keep you safe, increased speed, which means faster, easier browsing, an advanced RSS reader and sidebar, and an ad-blocker as well as tabbed browsing. If you are updating an older version of Ideal Firefox we recommend you first uninstall your old version for optimal use.
Version 2.4 is an update for Firefox 1.07 compatibility.

Version: Ideal Browser Firefox Edition 2.4
"If you can't get Firefox, this is the next best thing."
Pros: Ideal Browser Firefox Edition is good for those who can't get Firefox. It has some good extensions installed all ready and has the same speed as the original Firefox. Not only that, it's theme is Qute (one of my favorite themes).
Cons: It too much of a clone. It looks like Firefox and does everything that Firefox does. Just get the original. This is just one of those generic browsers.

Version: Ideal Browser Firefox Edition 2.4
Pros: None
Cons: I installed it and Firefox wouldn't run. When I clicked on Firefox Ideal opened up. It took over Firefox and then stalled so I couldn't get it to run.
