 A number of websites recommend their users to view their site using a modern browser, such as FireFox,
instead of Internet Explorer. This article will briefly look over the
history of browsers and describe the differences between them and what
advantages they encompass. So sit back and absorb this wonderful
knowledge, you will thank us for it!Little History For many years there wasn’t a real alternative to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. It came on board with Microsoft’s popular operating system Windows, it was easy to use, and people didn’t have problems with it apart from the occasional crashes (Nitro, 2006). But somewhere along the way, things changed, viruses and spy-ware started spreading like wildfire throughout the Internet and computers, and the main culprit for it was Internet Explorer (IE). Why? Because it had massive security holes and Microsoft could not fix them as fast as they were found and exploited (Nitro, 2006). At this moment people became aware that Microsoft was no longer the only competitor in the browser business and that companies like Opera Software and Mozilla Foundation were in the same race too (Nitro, 2006). Top 5 Reasons to switch to FireFox #5 Originality In the most recent version of IE 7, you'll find a lot of cool new features - unfortunately, almost all of these features have been in Firefox for years now. With Firefox, you'll have the latest and best features straight out of the box. #4 Cleaner Interface Firefox's interface is clean, and easy to use. Additionally, you have the ability to customize the navigation to just about any specification, as well as easily implementing thousands of new themes to personalize Firefox. #3 Easy to Use If you know how to use Internet Explorer, you'll know how to use Firefox - all of the keyboard shortcuts are the same, and Firefox will import your bookmarks and settings for you, meaning no learning curve for you. Just download and surf. #2 Free and Open Firefox is completely free and supported by a dedicated community of developers to constantly make it better. since it's "open source", that means that anyone can make improvements to the software and could possibly make it into the next release of Firefox. #1 Customization with Plugins and Extensions The real power of Firefox lies in it's added functionality through the use of 'extensions'. Thousands of developers program small additional tools for the browser that allow you to do almost whatever your heart desires, and make your life easier.  Make the switch today - you wont regret it! |
