Mozilla - Firefox is another way to secure your computer
Category: General Tips
Firefox is a web browser written by Mozilla. It is much more secure, for now, and has many features which make is an excellent choice for the home computer. Now, part of the security that comes with it is because it is still fairly new. I say that, because many people still use the IE already installed on their computer. I personally was tired of the Microsoft products, and decided to switch, and what an excellent choice it was.
If you venture into the world of traffic exchanges, and like to surf, Firefox gives you the benefit of having multiple windows open within 1 window, using tabs to switch back and forth. Plus, it will automatically block all pop ups for you. I know there are other programs out there that can do stuff like this, crazybrowser, etc….but these have crashed my computer. Firefox is safe, and secure for now. Plus, I just like supporting the open source world. Think about it, anyone who openly writes code, and gives it away for free is a much better man than most of us.
I use open source code all of the time. Just do a quick search for “something script” and it probably exists. Then figure out how to incorporate it into your website. Just look at my site MBceo Computers. This is all code I found on the net. I have had to heavily modify it, and do my own design, but the core of the codecame from open source scripts. When I make enough money from this, I plan on making a donation to all of the sources.
I guess the point is when you have people working on something for free, and because they want to, it is going to be excellent work. If they are working on it because they are getting paid, and that is the only reason, you have a chance of having a sub par product. Not always, but in the case of IE and Firefox, uhhhhhh, I would say so.
