    Internet Browsers

    I know it comes up in the forums every so often, but one of our kids was home for the weekend. Tells the wife that Firefox is not safe changes the wife's computer over to explorer. What do some of you smart computer people on here say? Thanks

    all the browsers are pretty safe.

    Zert first off ignore bear he is a clueless idiot

    Dependent upon what version of explorer but that is the last one I'd reccomend. Firefox or chrome are your best options

    Chrome the most secure... Firefox isnt very good... IE is a strange suggestion...

    Just be safe online, update everything, its not like 10 years ago.......

    Little cub just trying to zing me back. I am more of an idiot than my kids. I waste some of my time on this forum. I thought about chrome but I thought it had issues with working well on certain websites. I dont know but thanks.

    For me Chrome is the best.

    Explorer has such a bad rap that they're going to be changing the name of it soon.

    Depends what you want/ need to do. I was applying for jobs online using IE and some issues came up. Had to call
    the employer. They use Chrome. My current employer uses firefox which is compatible with IE. Can't view my pay
    stub using Chrome, have to use IE. I don't want/ need all these damn browsers.
