Better Web Experience
There is a web browser that many people use to surf the web. This browser many times will cause spyware and viruses to infect your computer, which in turn may cause an enormous amount of pop-ups. For this reason surfing the web would have many running scared. This happens daily for many business and home users.
I am talking about using Microsoft Internet Explorer. This browser is known for not being secure. Unfortunately not many people know that there are alternatives for viewing information on the web. One of those alternatives is Firefox. This browser is currently in version 1.5 and has proven to be a very powerful browser to replace Internet Explorer.
Mozilla is the company who actively develops Firefox. Who is Mozilla?
From Mozilla’s website

Established in July, 2003, the Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote choice and innovation on the Internet.
You are probably asking “Why should I bother with Firefox when I am working fine with Internet Explorer?” Well, there are a few reasons why using Firefox would be a better choice for web browsing. Firefox blocks viruses, spyware, and popup ads for a better web experience. Below are other features of Firefox.
- Faster Browsing:
- You will notice that pages open faster even on a dialup connection.
- Tabbed Browsing:
- Open multiple web pages in a single browser window. You can even drag and drop tabs to keep related pages together.
- Live Bookmarks:
- Instead of constantly checking web pages for changes, a live bookmark will deliver updates to you automatically.
- Customization:
- You can add more features by installing extensions or even change look of the browser. You have more control of your web experience.
I recently installed Firefox on my parent’s computer and immediately there was a difference in page load speed. They are on dialup. They also mentioned that pop-ups have ceased.
Firefox works on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. This is just a brief overview of Firefox. If you would like more information about the browser or would like to install, then check out Firefox and change the way you experience the web.
