Why should I upgrade my internet browser?

If you are having difficulty uploading web pages – the first thing to do is upgrade your browser. In addition to displaying web pages better, new browsers also have enhanced interfaces and tools.

Mozilla Firefox

Advantages:
• Speed. Firefox is reported to be the fastest browser when it comes to download speed – so you can download programs and files faster.

• Security. Firefox has some advanced security measures that protect your computer from spyware and cartain viruses. Firefox also comes with a popup blocker that stops most popups.

• Embedded memory - which means that if your computer is turned off by mistake, Firefox will remember which Internet pages you had open and offer to get them back for you.

Download Mozilla Firefox or upgrade to the latest version by visiting the Mozilla site.

For Internet Explorer 7/8

Advantages:
• Internet Explorer is built into Windows. Because of this tight integration, file-and-folder windows become a browser window. You never need to run the Web browser separately.

• IE uses all the regular Windows keyboard shortcuts. This can be very helpful if you do a lot of Web browsing, because you don't have to learn new ways of doing things with the keyboard.

• Phishing Filter. Microsoft’s new Phishing Filter provides better protection against malicious Web site operators and helps prevent users from becoming the victims of online fraud.

For Safari

Advantages
• Safari is built into the Mac Operating System and tightly integrated with features of various Mac OS. If you are a MAC user, your PC will automatically prompt you to update to the latest version of Safari when the software is updated.

• Inline find - you can search for any word in a webpage with inline search.

• Forms auto fill and spell check - Safari makes online filling much easier and error free with its auto fill and spell check tools.

• Private Browsing : If you enable Private browsing, your browsing sessions will stay private as Safari deletes all history of URLs and other offline content of web pages visited.

Download or upgrade to the latest Safari browser by visiting the Apple site.
