Web Browsers
Topic: Browsers
Most of you reading this are probably using Internet Explorer (IE) as your web browser. You aren't doing this because you decided it's the best thing out there, but because it comes as part of your operating system. I'm here to tell you that IE is the worst browser on the planet. In terms of functionality and security, it stinks. The sooner we have an IE free internet, the better. There are alternatives. I am going to recommend three specifically. They are designed differently than IE. They have superior features, and they are far more secure. They can all be downloaded and used for free. In my opinion, you should be using one of the three.

The first of these is called Firefox. Perhaps you have heard of it. It is getting a lot of press these days. PC World magazine has decided it is their favorite browser. Firefox is a product of the Mozilla Foundation. Firefox is open source. Firefox is as good as they hype it has been getting. I have used it extensively, and it works great. Feel free to download it and take it for a spin.
