I use both Firefox and Chrome.. Firefox use lots of RAM in my computer, so if you open lots of tab my computer can become so slow. So if I want to do simple browsing, I just use Chrome. Why I don't leave FF is mainly because there are too much plugin that I need if I'm working that can only available at FF.

My husband and I just switched to chrome and his concerns was the same as some people who have recently made the switch to chrome, internet explorer 6 are no longer a safe route for us because we do everything on it, example online banking, so for us we were told there are security ricks, and overall I think who you use for your browser you still have to be careful and check your important accounts on a regular basis just to be safe, we not living in a world where nothing is ever unhackable so be wise and be safe. good luck to everyone.

I have been following your blog, and I love it. I have not updated to IE7, so I guess I am still in the dark ages. But when Google Chrome was launched, I jumped on the band wagon, and have not looked back. One of my problems with FireFox, was that it is turning into a hog ,for me anyway. It is very slow to load, and I find that since using Google’s new browser, my surfing has been fast, and reliable. I have Vista, and of course is it crap. Always freezing up,slow,fustrating,and when it does crash, I have to close out the browser, and start over again. Google Chrome is the bomb, if there is a problem with a web page, all I have to do is close the tab, and all recent windows, are not affected. It’s not flashy, but is a breath of fresh air.

I switched to Firefox over 1 1/2 years ago and will never go back. No more pop-ups, no more nonesense, just a great browser. Too bad the giant Microsoft can make something as good as this.

It took me a long while to switch to FF also; now i use it almost exclusively, although it has little to do with security.

Btw, download IE updates if you haven’t yet. They issued a fix recently.

Hey Garry

I’ve been a Firefox user for sometime. I’m on mac, but whenever I use a PC I end up putting it on. Infact its usually one of the first things I do. Did have a play with chrome on the PC. It was pretty fast. Not sure it’s available for mac though.

As to security. I think that maybe Firefox is more secure because it seems to be constantly developed by a dedicated team as opposed to IE. Just my guess though. And of course Microsoft is always going to be a target for hackers just from the being Microsoft.

I’m sure Apple will get to point where hackers start target them, but it’s market share surely? There are simply more Windows machines out there so they’re easier to target.

Charles,

Which web browser do you you then? It would be interesting to know of other alternatives. I did use to use Oprah, but haven’t for some years. Not sure why really. Was pretty good from what I remember.

That is true but when entering the password the program allows you to enter asterisks instead of letters, so when they intercept your password are they able to decipher the asterisks? Just a thought.
