Fed up with your browser being hijacked at every turn? This alone is reason enough to switch from Internet Explorer now to Mozilla’s Firefox (formally known as Firebird). It’s a complete browser filled with tons of features. It’s not bloated like IE, and it loads sites more quickly. The interface is simpler and cleaner and its tabbed browsing will be a revelation to those who haven’t used tabs before. Amongst the many featrures there’s a built in pop-up blocker that works better than most. But most importantly you’ll be spared the disruption caused by the many plagues which exploit the security vulnerabilities of IE. To be fair to Microsoft the primary reason that “malware” writers target IE rather than other browsers is that it’s the browser that everyone uses. Quite likely if Firefox becomes the most popular browser, it will become target number one for malware writers. But that will be some time off, so until then here’s wishing you trouble free browsing.
