Firefox

Over the years, consumers have come to expect something new and exciting from computer manufacturers to be produced every year. Sleek and stylish seem to be an absolute necessity these days. As the computers get smaller, people also expect the software to become more user friendly. Systems such as windows and internet explorer have dominated the market. They are installed on just about every computer that you can buy at the store. But despite this dominance, people are starting to find better operating systems and software that's available for free.

One of these free downloads is an internet browser called firefox. This program is an alternative to internet explorer. What I love about firefox is that it is a lot safer than any of its counterparts. It has a bunch of security features so you don't have to worry about some hacker coming and stealing all of your information. There are also safe guards built into the software that make it very difficult for you to download an unwanted file or virus. Another thing that I really love about firefox is the ability for you to customize your internet browsing experience. Firfox has thousands of add-ons that you can download to make easier or enhance your internet experience. Some of the stuff that you can install on your browser include an add-on that gives your global weather updates. Another really cool tool that you can add is called Adblock Plus. Have you ever been annoyed by those ads on the side of web pages that take a really long time to load? Well, with this program all you have to do is right click those ads and they will never be downloadable again. This is a great way to get rid of all of those advertisements that none of us want to see.

Another great add-on that I really love is called Stumble Upon. Basically, when you download this application, it asks you what your hobbies, activities, and interests are. Then, based on this information, every time you click the stumble upon button, it will bring you to a new, random website. Most of the time these websites are very interesting and have information that you never knew about on them. The application also gives you the option to give the site a thumbs up or thumbs down, and based on this information, it will give you better results that reflects you interests. This application also keeps track of what websites you visit on a normal basis and gives you new websites based on this. I've discovered so many new websites by using this add-on, as well as other random facts about some of my subjects of interests that I had never known about before. These are only two of some of the really interesting and very useful add-ons that come with firefox. Firefox should be everyone's internet browser.
