Browser question
Wrong forum, but need this to be seen by as many as possible.
Hearing media reports of a warning from DHS about not using Internet Explorer. I am one who has used Explorer from the beginning, and have tried others, but keep coming back. What should I do?

So you are the one still using IE.... I think you can download patches, serioulsy though, Chrome or FF are much faster/less resource intensive than IE. I'd switch |

you can disable the flash plug-in and still use IE safely as well....

you can select internet explorer to not be your "default"
browser select google chrome or just plain google instead
you have to go to control panel/internet/ browser options
to change that..... |

These days I would use Chrome or FireFox. I only use IE where required.

Switched to Chrome by my computer member guru. Responsive. Took a little time getting use to format from using IE for ions.

I was a FireFox user. But, the quality of that browser has been going down slowly.
I use Chrome on Mac, Linux, Windows, iPad, and iPhone. Works every time without fail. LOVE IT. ;-)
