Mozilla Firefox 0.9.1 (http://mozilla.org/products/firefox/)
Very recent version of Mozilla Firefox, just a few days old. If anyone uses it - update, it's more stable and a number of bugs have been worked out. It might be a placebo, but they reworked the icon interface slightly and I like it quite a bit more. Why switch browsers to begin with? Just out a few days ago:
To avoid falling prey to a concerted attack aiming to steal log-on information and passwords, some security experts advised Web surfers to either turn off some Internet Explorer (IE) features or switch to another browser as the best immediate fix. Unknown attackers who had taken control of several Web servers used the flaw last week to install a remote-access program, dubbed JS.Scob.Trojan, onto the PCs of visitors to those sites.
"I hope that Microsoft will come up with a patch soon," said Johannes Ullrich, chief technology officer for the Internet Storm Center, a site that monitors network threats. "Until they do, you basically have two choices: Disable JavaScript in Internet Explorer or install another browser."
One of they many reasons. Faster, safer, and better performing browsers.
Popup Blocking, Tabbed Browsing ( try and never go back ) , Privacy and Security, all the features of IE and more.
Once more, get it here. (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/)
