Why you should use something other than Internet Explorer

Here's an interesting site that describes some of the reasons for alternative web browsing software (such as Firefox, Opera, and Apple Safari). Even if you are a die-hard MS Internet Explorer fan, you should encourage these alternate browsers to continue their work, and perhaps try them out from time to time. Why? Competition! Between 2001 and 2004 there was virtually ZERO development done on web browsers, and Internet Explorer is just NOW finally working on a new version with new security and enhanced usability features. Have you ever used tabbed browsing? If not, you REALLY don't know what you're missing! Read more about it here. Does your browser support live bookmarks? Do you know what RSS and ATOM feeds are? You should learn! See what live bookmarks can do for you here.

The problem with a lack of competition is that nobody knows what they are MISSING! Try something different today, you'll be surprised.

Get Firefox!
