More reasons to have Firefox

Get Firefox!

Everybody knows their brand new PC's or laptop (computer systems) come with pre-installed IE as their web browser provided that Windows is the primary Operating System, which is the case for all 96% of brand new PCs in the world. But does anybody knows that IE is also the most exploited source among hackers for their malicious plundering of security issues? Does anybody knows that IE is among the worst in managing system's resources (e.g. in Task Manager, under Memory Usage) especially when you have at least 3 IE windows opened simultaneously?

If you have answered a 'yes' to any one of the questions above, then you should seriously reconsider the safety of your computer system, if not already yourself. These security threats, you may think, do not involve/concern you in any ways; but lo, allow me to say you are so wrong. Taking into consideration that we are especially involve with how information is conveyed from one place to another and that we are constantly fishing out these information from our computers. When you fish, you just want to fish the fish out of their life then BBQ or grill them delicious! You dont want to fish out an old stinky boot, used rubber tyre, or an advertisement poster of some local club. The very same way, large firms and hackers alike have breached and exploited security holes found in IE and have 'tamed' IE to work for them. It affects you in a way that cause you to see unwanted and involuntary behaviors in your computer, forcing you addition clicks of the mouse to shut that goddam-windows displaying offensive adverts, making you pay for transportation or other additional costs to send your computer for repairs because your computer has recently broke down and you have no idea what causes it (maybe viruses, or just needs a reformatting of the HDD).

The reasons of how security threats affects you is a never-ending list. You had better start thinking before you click to execute IE in your computer. It's not safe! Internet Explorer is not safe!

Then I mentioned about System Resources. When you hit the three (3) magic keys in Windows, click on the 'Task Manager" button and you'll see a window pops up showing you a list of processes running in the background of Windows. IE does the worst such that it uses the most system's resource (which is the primary reason for system lag OR simply Your computer slowed dowm suddenly), Netscape 8 Beta Version does better, and Firefox is 65-70% more efficient than IE.
Verify this fact by Google search "netscape firefox internet explorer comparison" (without quotes)

In Firefox, you don't need to download additional software or tools to block those irritating pop-ups like you have to when using IE.
Tab-browsing, a wonderful feature of Firefox (and soon Netscape 8), has made life for websurfers so much easier. There are other 'Extensions' where Firefoxers can use to make life so much more easier than it is, and that includes, mouse-gestures (a feature first introduced by Opera Browsers), auto-copy, live dictionary or references, XML feeds or RSS for Real Simple Syndication, and many more.

I really want to convince you to have Firefox as the only web browser to use. Click on the Firefox image above or below to GET FIREFOX NOW.
