Is Your Browser Inhibiting Your Experience?

Have you ever spoken with a half-way wanna- be techie and mentioned using Internet Explorer.  I’m sure they exploded and went on a rampage about how horrible it is and how other browsers have a glorious attributes.  I have watched friends talk about browsers with a passion in their eyes that closely resembles religion.

I find it a little funny that people get so worked up about something that seems like a small detail in my world.  Viruses, what are those?  Malware, still not sure what that is.  The fact that I can “catch” something online that will destroy my slick shiny new laptop in 2.2 seconds doesn’t seem to cross my mind.

In fact, I get more annoyed with that “Virus Detected” pop ups that force me to shut down my computer, when I was doing nothing wrong.  What happened to the days when only adult content surfers got viruses?  I don’t think that I should be exposed to anything while I lust over some sky scrapers at www.shoerazzi.com.

I must face the facts, I do need to be protected online and some browsers are just better at protecting then others.  I have read blogs with people giving death wishes out to Internet Explorer and how Microsoft paid for one of the latest safety reports. (Internet Explorer 9 was found to be the safest)  Most tech enthusiast recommend Firefox or Chrome.

I grew up only knowing Internet Explorer so I didn’t see what others could do.  I personally use Firefox because it has several features on its toolbar that are very useful.  I have used Aviary screenshot many times.  I downloaded Google Chrome figuring it would incorporate all things ruled by Google.  I didn’t find a lot of uses for it, but I was able to make everything ruled by Google.

All of that being said, I have a Firefox crush.  I don’t have to worry about compatibility mode, and for using Niche Traffic Builder- there cannot be a better way.
