The internet browser market has long been dominated by Internet
Explorer, but a new kid on the block -- Firefox -- is making strong inroads
against the Microsoft product's dominance. To date, over 75 million copies of
Firefox have been downloaded by users around the world. Here are some reasons
why you should replace Explorer with Firefox.
1. No Pop Ups. Unlike Explorer, Firefox has a nifty pop up blocker in place. No
more garbage to fill your screen as you search the internet with Firefox. Can't
say the same for Explorer, however.
2. Your Security. Spyware, trojan horses, and ActiveX controls are stopped in
their tracks. Explorer limits through unreliable third party downloads.
3. Quick Downloading. Downloading files is a snap as they are done quickly and
painlessly. Once Firefox completes the download you will be prompted to clean up
[remove] unneeded files.
4. Tabbed Browsing. Surfing the internet is easier as users can open up one
window and set tabs for quick access to multiple web pages. Specifically, all
your browser windows actually work within one window, each marked by tabs that
you can click in and out of with ease.
5. Tons of extensions, themes, and plug-ins. You can customize Firefox to work
the way you want it to work. Download an ad blocker, a new toolbar, a special
theme, or include plug-ins such as Adobe Reader, Windows Media Player,
Shockwave, Flash Player, and more.
Firefox is not perfect, but it goes a long way further than Explorer in giving
users an enjoyable internet experience. For this reason alone, it is worth being
downloaded by you.
