iPhone. S Best of 2008 plus the People’s Choice. Welcome to CrunchGear’s Gala Best of 2008 Awards featuring the Best Gear, Gadgets, and Software of 2008. Best of all, we tallied your responses and collated them in the People’s Choice awards. Now that I’m wearing my tux, let’s get right to the awards. Best BrowserGoogle Chrome People’s ChoiceFirefox While we agree that Firefox is probably the best browser out there, we’re talking about the best browser of 2008.
Chrome is what a browser should be – speedy, elegant, and easy-to-use. Sadly, it’s not cross-platform so only those running XP or Vista and join in the fun. As web professionals, browsers are important and Chrome gets our vote this year.
