Fastest, Most Secure Browser?

pc club guy · 03-18-2005, 10:23 PM

I wanted to know what browser was the fastest and the most secure to surf. Internet Explorer gets viruses sometimes. I also have Opera, would any of these compare to firefox?

I'm not fimiliar with Opera, but mozilla firefox is a great browser to use, one of the safest as well. I would most definatley get rid of IE.

Ok don't get rid of it completely. Let my rephrase...dont use it

keep IE, but only use it if u really needed cuz sometimes firefox doesn't support some websites, especially those who use activeX.

I'd recommend that (having downloaded and installed Firefox) you:

1. Make Firefox your default browser and,

2. Use is as often as possible

Make sure you have as much fun using it as possible

You can actually uninstall IE? O_o Thought Microsoft made it a part of Windows?

i dont think you can delete it, just get rid off all the shortcuts

No it's not removeable but if you change your default browser the XP quick Internet link changes as well. Just remember before you bash IE, every other browser has security flaws and limitations but they aren't targeted because IE is still the most widely used, if your favourite underdog browser suddenly takes off and becomes widely used it will get targeted.

Mozilla (which is use) is the fastest growing brower, or something like that. And ie belongs to microsoft so its funny to find the flaws in that
