My 9 Reasons To Switch From IE to Firefox


Microsoft's Internet Explorer may indeed still command as your web browser for now, but the "Browser Battle" is definitely on.

Microsoft should be watching Mozilla carefully because Firefox is better than Explorer by leaps and bounds and I will tell you why.

Here's what Firefox has which IE doesn't and basically constitutes to the reasons I ditched IE some time ago.
  • Faster Response - A typical webpage loads faster on Firefox than Internet Explorer
  • Higher security - biggest factor that inspired me to switch was the constant bugs and fixes IE has
  • Tap browsing - too many opened windows = super annoying and slows down everything
  • Session Restore - If Firefox has to restart or closes when it comes back you’ll pick up exactly where you left off
  • Keeps html formatted - able to keep the html format when copying from a web to txt
  • Download Manager - one can pause download and continue it a later time
  • Live Titles - As the information on the page gets updated, so does the Live titles
  • Live Bookmarks - review the latest updates from favourite sites with a glance and a click
  • Open source - not proprietary, more secured
There’s a lot to do on the Web and trust me, Firefox 2.0 is definitely making a difference to the user experience on browsing.
