What Browser to Use?
What is a Browser? A browser is a software that allow you to read and interact on the World Wide Web. Below are some of the browsers available:
Do you need more than one (1) browser?
It is not bad to install or use more than one browser. You do not need to uninstall or remove the existing browser to make the other browser work. You can configure your system on which browser will be your default browser. You should only review the System Requirements of the software prior installing.
How to choose which browser to use?
- Verify that you are installing a browser that is created for your system.
- Try the browser if you like its' features and functions. Not all browser has the same features or functions.
- Visit the vendors' site to find out if the browser is being updated frequently to solve the bugs or security issue.
- Visit the sites that you frequently visit to find out if the browser that you are using will show the site properly.
I'm concern on browser security. Which browser is secure or safe to use?
There is no secure browser on earth. Most browsers or software in general has its' own security hole. What you can do to have at least 90% secure browser are:
- Make sure that you will install the latest version
- Be informed on security issue to find out if there are work-around or fixes
- Configure the browsers' security settings to the prompt you for anything or disable the feature if you are not using it.
- You should also install a security program that will alert you for any changes made in your browser or system. Some of this program are: SpywareGuard, SpywareBlaster, WinPatrol, BHODemon, Spybot Search & Destory.
- Enable the real-time protection by your firewall and antivirus program
Happy Safe Computing!
