Chimpware Prefers... Firefox
Another new year, another new Chimpware Editorial. This new editorial will talk about what ChimpWare contributors prefer as their favourite software, hardware, music, film etc. etc. in their specific genre, and why. Firstly, Sideath talks about his internet browser of choice - Firefox.
At it's peak in 2002, Microsoft's Internet Explorer held 96% of the Online Browser market. This was mostly due to the fact that all PCs then manufactured with a version of Windows will have an edition of Internet Explorer, and people being the lazy people that they are, generally sticks to IE as it was funtional tool which poses few problems. However of course, there are many better alternatives out there. I digress - there is one better alternative out there. Firefox. By now Firefox has around 15% of the browser market and rising, and together with Apple's Browser, they are slowly eating away at Microsoft's IE market share.
Why is this? Of course, there are huge advantages to using Firefox - the consumer-friendly tabbed browsing, auto-anti-popup (vastly superior of that of IE, MSN, Yahoo or Google), Faster Internet Surfing (20% faster than IE), and Intergrated Search engines on the top right hand corner of your toolbar. Of course, Firefox is also the best option for seaso
ned Internet Surfers as well. It Updates itself automatically, it supports next generation media including HD-online media (which has already become surfacing on Google Video) and open web standards, it supports additional extensions and plugins which are unavaliable on IE, it has customization options... the list goes on.
However, in my opinion the most advantageous aspect of Firefox is it's extremely powerful virus and spyware filtering system. Highly advantageous, it basically allowed me to get rid of two of my anti-spyware programs, and I highly recommend it.
