As the above graphic illustrates, Firefox is a safer web browser than Internet Explorer. Firefox has been my preferred web browser for several years now. As I one of my sons told me (he is my computer guru when I need help), Firefox is faster, better, and safer. I made the switch.

Firefox had tabbed browsing long before IE. Tabbed browsing is so much handier in a lot of situations than opening new windows. When I am using Google search, I open each link in a new tab so I can bounce back and forth between pages and I still have my original Google search page.

Firefox is free, open source software. You can read more about it’s safety advantages here and here.

If you haven’t tried Firefox, it’s about time. You can download it at the Mozilla web site.
