The time has come to dump Internet Explorer (IE as it is called). Now this might seem like a typical anti - Microsoft article; but believe me - I am not against Microsoft - I use Windows only and a lot of their other products.

The benefits of using IE are too few - and the faults too great. It is time to get real. Time to get Firefox.
Why not use IE:?

| Security :

Who is not concerned about security or privacy for that matter? Would you like someone else spying over what you do on the Internet? This is the biggest flaw with IE. It allows malicious websites to install spyware on your computer without your even knowing about it. Such websites can install backdoor viruses - the biggest threat being keyloggers (a keylogger is a software that can record everything and anything you do on your computer - Every single word you type and every single mouse click) So what you do on your PC everyday is being sent to a server somewhere in the US. Scary enough.

Lucky for us, we have alternatives. Mozilla Firefox is the web browser that is really setting the web on fire. More than 30% of Internet users have already switched over to Firefox and as awareness about security grows - this number is likely to increase. Firefox has a lot of other features not found in IE - tabbed browsing, RSS feeds, search engine tabs etc. It is very secure, stable and fast - so why not switch over to Firefox?

The transition from IE to Firefox is not difficult. When you run Firefox for the first time, it allows you to import bookmarks and settings from IE. New users will find the Firefox interface user friendly.

Give Firefox a try. And you will rediscover the web.
