There was news out this morning that a security breach in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer can lead to vulnerability to hackers that can access private information such as passwords and banking information.  The funny part to me was the answer to the problem was to “avoid using internet explorer until a security patch is released”.

Days like this are exactly why I use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer.  Aside from the fact that I am over the Goliath Monopoly that is Microsoft, Firefox is simply a superior product.  In my case (I can not speak for all users) it is faster, far more secure, and has all of the familiar usability that you may be used to with Explorer.

You can download Firefox here for free.
