Browsers - What you need to know

A Browser is the program you use to view pages on the Internet. The chances are you are viewing this page with Internet Explorer, Microsoft’s version. However there are other browsers you can use.

Why would I want to use another browser?

In many people's opinion Internet Explorer is a bad browser. Its starting to show its age, it doesn't have the latest features and because it is the most popular browser it is also the main target of attach for hackers, which means it has security risks.

THE alternative

There is another browser that is a real alternative to Internet Explorer. You may have heard of it, its called Firefox. Depending on whom you ask it is estimated that 10% - 20% of people now use it instead of Internet Explorer.

The reason for this is that Firefox is technically a better browser. It allows you to view multiple pages in one browser rather then have ten copies of Internet Explorer, which slows most people's computer down. Firefox has a whole host of other features to discover, find out why it is becoming so popular.
