Browser Switch

Tuesday, 06 July 2004

Okay… I have hammered this subject a lot lately, but I thought I would throw out an interesting article. Microsoft’s online magazine Slate has published an article praising Mozilla Firefox as a step forward in web browsing, security, and usability.

View the article, then install Firefox, then add a few extensions to the browser.

Yes, I know it sounds -EXTREMELY- scary to install a new program… but your online security depends on it. If you don’t trust me, then trust Microsoft (via Slate magazine) and the US Government. They recommend a switch too.

What’s even better is you can use the same browser on Windows, Linux and Macintosh! It’s available on all three!

Oh, and if you are into Macromedia Flash, Java games, or other plugin trickery, you will want to read this little document on how to get those functionalities into Firefox. No, it really isn’t a big deal.
