For several years, Mozilla Firefox has gained ground in its more established rival Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Although their development is completely open source, the project has always developed innovative ways to improve security and functionality of the browser used to surf the Internet.
These positive changes have given a platform to further develop its Mozilla browser and its popularity continues to grow. The Firefox browser has been downloaded over 500,000 times per day and the project is currently about 12% market share. So why choose Mozilla Firefox for more established rival. It is simply a better browser.
Due to the popularity of Firefox, Microsoft has tried to fight against this in the latest version of Internet Explorer by including some of the innovations in Firefox, like tabbed browsing, integrated search engine and a popup blocker integrated. However, Firefox still has many more advantages and Microsoft has not implemented a proper browser.
Here are seven reasons why you should choose Firefox instead of Internet Explorer.
Firefox is a faster browser: Studies show that Internet Explorer does not load a page faster than Firefox. It uses fewer resources and can be tweaked to maximize the capabilities of the computer.
Firefox is a safer place: Despite many improvements in the latest version of Internet Explorer (version 7), there are still many security issues related to the browser. Firefox does not use Active X, which can easily be manipulated to spread viruses and spyware. Although Firefox is not completely secure, history shows that its developers considered the safety of the main browser.
Firefox, it is easier to manage downloads: The download manager of Firefox is great because not only downloads organize information in one place, but you can also pause the download and start another time.
Firefox is fully customizable: Because Firefox is open source, the browser is capable of being completely flexible. You can change the theme of navigation, design and attach the plug-ins that you choose and can block images. The plug-ins available are very good. You can add spell checkers, translators and many other useful applications.
Firefox allows you to delete data: Unlike Internet Explorer, Firefox lets you delete all your private data by pressing a single button. Otherwise, Internet Explorer asks you to manually select the cookies, temporary Internet files and history to erase the data. If you use the browser a long period without deleting it may be heavy.
Firefox gives you all the details of the site: It is a cool tool built into Mozilla Firefox which allows you to display data on the current site you visit. You can see the links are present, the date of last modification, and other interesting information. Firefox also lets you view the source code of the site. It is ideal for web developers.
Firefox allows you to block images: If you visit a site that has many pictures in it, for example, the ads, then Firefox lets you block any specific image on this site. It’s very good because it improves the speed it takes to load the site. Internet Explorer does not have this feature.
