Top Five Reasons That I use Firefox... (and Why You Should Too)


1. Ad Blocking

That’s right, I don’t see ads when I browse the internet. Simply install the Firefox add on Ad Block Plus and you will never see ads or pop-ups again.


2. Customization with Plugins and Extensions

The real power of Firefox lies in its added functionality through the use of extensions and plug-ins. Thousands of developers program small additional tools for the browser that allow you to do almost whatever your heart desires, and make your life easier. Want your browser to be a different color? Want to add weather updates? The choice is yours.


3. Security

Most malicious bugs and viruses are programmed for Internet Explorer. Using Firefox is more secure and it could save your computer.


4. Cleaner Interface

Firefox's interface is easy to use and it’s clean. Moreover, you have the ability to customize the navigation to just about any specification, as well as easily implementing thousands of new themes to personalize Firefox.


5. Originality

In the most recent version of Internet Explorer 7, you will find many cool new features—interestingly enough—almost all of these features have been in Firefox for years (yup it’s true, Microsoft is copying Mozilla). With Firefox, you will have the latest and best features straight out of the box.


Firefox gives me a better browsing experience. I think it will give you a better experience, too.

I switched to Firefox from Safari (MacIntosh) a couple months ago.

You are right. Firefox is a wonderful browser!

You're preaching to a converted here ;-)
I've been using Firefox since even before I started blogging... I find it faster too, which is a mega-plus when I'm using a slow net connection {like now}.
It has been my (online) life saver many times :-)

Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm for that great browser with the (ww)world... The more Firefox users the merrier :-)

Personally, I prefer Maxthon.

I also like Safari 3.1.

Firefox is ok, but I tend to use it primarily in conjunction with other browsers to see how web pages look among the most-used browsers.

I have half a dozen browsers available, and can switch back and forth among them easily because I can run them all at the same time.

My view is that if a particular browser performs well for you, then it really doesn't matter what others think. Your browser of choice is distinctly your choice.

MaxRedline: You might be interested to know that Maxthon rides on top of the IE engine which is not secure. Firefox uses the Gecko engine which is considerable more secure and gets updated more often than IE.

Hey Jack--

I did not know that. Good point, thanks for the info.
