Oh yeah, get Firefox
There is a better web browser out there, and it is called Firefox. Why is it better, well it just is, and over 50,000,000 people agree. It is very adept at blocking pop up windows and renders web pages faster. But more important than that, at least to me, is that the browser is not dominant on the screen. It always seemed to me that when I was using Internet Explorer I was looking at a webpage “in” IE. When using Firefox, I feel more like I am looking at the web page itself, and Firefox is just a tool to help me get there. Firefox does not ever get in my way like IE did. It is better, you should try it.
The only downside to Firefox is that a small number of websites will not work with it. But this limitation is not the fault of the community that has developed Firefox, rather, it is the fault of the web page designers who have failed to adhere to accepted web standards and have coded for IE only. This problem was more prevalent in the early days of Firefox (6 months ago?), but as time progresses and more people switch over to Firefox this limitation is showing up less and less. Actually, I haven’t encountered a webpage that didn’t work in quite a while. Although it may be that I just refuse to visit them until they conform (i.e. Launch!).
