Firefox - The No#1 Web Browser
The more people that get online the higher the chance that you will be exposed to phishing attempts, viruses, trojans, and various adware and spyware. With all of the activities we do online these days from banking to business can you really afford to fall prey to these tactics?
This is where Firefox comes in. Unlike Internet Explorer it is immune from much of the spyware and adware that is circulating the web these days. Not only can it protect you from adware and spyware but it can also warn you about potential phishing attacks as well so your personal information stays safe. The fact that Firefox is a creation of the open-source community means that when problems and security vulnerabilities do pop up they are usually remedied very quickly.
The Firefox community is very strong and there are many, many plug-ins developed to enhance your browsing experience. This is just another reason why Firefox is the best web browser available today.
Here are my favorite Firefox features:
- Tabbed Browsing - No more opening up a new browser window for each page.
- Phishing Protection - Firefox will warn you if it feels a site is not legit.
- Pop-up Blocker - A built in pop-up blocker makes browsing the web less intrusive.
- Session Restore - Ever have your browser crash while working on something? Firefox can restore the session as if nothing ever happened.
- Easier Navigation - Firefox makes it simple to navigate the web using the keyboard or mouse gestures.
- Spell Checking - Firefox will spell check anything you type in web forms, in-line.
- It's NOT Internet Explorer!
