Changes for the better


Sadly I've never been of the mind-set that Firefox is more secure than IE, software has faults and Firefox is no exception and the same can be said for any application.

I have been using the much renamed browser (Pheonix/Firebird) since about beta version 0.4. At that time IE was ok but just a bog standard application and to be truthful a little boring.
Firefox delivered a whole new way of browsing and made surfing more enjoyable, with countless themes and extensions that cater for alot of peoples needs, I changed alot of peoples browsing habits and started turning peoples focus from their default IE installation.

With all this talk of browser wars, I think the question to be asking is not 'which is the best browser?' but 'what does the future of browsing hold for us?'.

Lack of compition is want has kept IE static for so long, with a healthly race to gain market share I think we shall see some great new developments in the browser scene over the next few years.
