Open source web browser

We all know about Internet Explorer on Windows but what other alternatives are there? Well today I’m gonna tell you about a great free open source web browser, maybe even the best web browser there is, Firefox.

Why do I use Firefox? I started using Firefox a few years back mainly because it was not safe to use Internet Explorer. IE was such a big target for spyware and virus many people including myself began using Firefox which was faster and more secure. Although the latest version of IE 7 fixes a lot of security issues and might be just as safe to use as Firefox.

One of the main reasons why I love Firefox is the level of customization that is unmatched by other web browsers. One of the best things about Firefox are the the extensions you can install onto your Firefox web browser. What are extensions, you ask. Well the best way to explain this is by example, I have a popular extension installed that blocks ads from web pages I visit and another one that downloads Youtube videos with a few clicks, and there are tons more. So if your sick of using IE get with the times and download Firefox.
