The Netizen's Guide: Web Browsers Beyond Explorer; Firefox Heats Up
As you surf the Internet, you may not notice what Web browser you use. It's also likely you don't know your browser's specifics, its edition (version) or even how old it is. It's very likely you don't spend your evenings pondering ways to improve it. You probably know more about your toothbrush.
Not all too long ago, there was a good reason for this blissful ignorance. There was essentially once choice, Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Today, there are a few more browsers out there, which offer users the same abilities, so similar, in fact, that the casual user may not even notice a difference.
One of the most popular alternatives to Microsoft's Internet Explorer is called the Firefox, a Web browser for the Windows, Mac and Linux platforms.
Microsoft's IE still dominates the browser market. But Firefox has much to offer, and in ways, it is more flexible and more secure than IE.
Netizen spoke recently with Asa Dotzler, who works for Mozilla's community outreach efforts.
