The Browser: Writing Worth Reading
from Al Breach, Robert Cottrell, and Henry Lane Fox et al.
The Browser is distinguished from other news or literary aggregators by its subtitle. Not limited to news only, it brings together well-written material of varying lengths on a wide range of topics from online journals, newspapers, and blogs. Samples of aggregated sources include The Economist, The New York Times, and The Atlantic, with web-based writing from Palate Press, Ars Technica, and The Huffington Post. Original content is featured in the FiveBooks section.

The Browser offers diverse content in both print and video content. The navigation bar includes Best of the Moment (recommended writing updated frequently throughout the day); FiveBooks (interviews with "renowned" persons who recommend the five best books to read in their field; updated Monday-Friday); and Special Reports (subject grouping of items covered). Much of The Browser's content is freely available to the general public; paid membership options are available to access protected content and other extras.
