Did you know it is a good idea to have more than one browser downloaded?  |
|
The reason being is that if your Internet Explorer becomes corrupt then you have another way to browse the internet to be able to repair your IE.
There are many different browsers out there. Here is a short list: Internet Explorer Mozilla Firefox Netscape Opera
If you do a search in google you can find the download for any of these browsers for your computer. You do not have to use any of them as your default browser.
It is just an excellent idea to have more than one browser on your computer at a time. You may find you like a different browser than just Internet Explorer this way as well.
I work as a software tech support person at a major computer company and we always try to make sure our customers have 2 browsers on their computer for troubleshooting.

1. walijo2008 (3711) | 1 year ago | I think I have two on my computer, I just downloaded Mozilla Firefox not too long ago and thats what I've been using, I still have IE downloaded, and sometimes I have to switch back, because I've noticed some websites don't work with firefox, especially if your trying to play online games, they won't work with it, but I also found that firefox is alot faster than IE, our computer has gotten faster since we've been using it.

| CleetySR388 (58) | 1 year ago | I perfer to run at least two as said before some sites won't run correctly or display right. Avant is great and so is firefox. I recall when Netscape was good now it might as well change its name to AOL. No offense to them I just really don't like or use that software.

3. tuyakiki (1324) | 1 year ago | I don't have many browsers. I don't use Internet explorer too. The browser that I use it Mozilla because it is user friendly.Apart from it I use opera too.
| |
| |
|
|
SketcherD (382) | 1 year ago | Yes I have been hearing a lot of people using Opera lately. I just downloaded it again today after I did a complete wipe of my drives. The reinstalling after you delete your drives takes a while when you have a big computer.

4. marty3888 (1449) | 1 year ago | Yes. I decided, after someone at work raved about Firefox to download it. I find that for some reason, internet explorer loads faster than Firefox and there are a few websited that you can't go on with firefox. But I like how firefox's bokmarks better than ie favorites. Also, you don't get that annoying click with firefox every time you enter a website. There is also a website that I used to have trouble with ie and I'm not having with firefox. Here is the question since I'm sort of new to having 2 browsers. Is it OK to have voth of them open so youcan switch back and forth?
| |
| |
|
|
SketcherD (382) | 1 year ago | I absolutely have both browsers open at the same time. It is like using two different phone lines in your home.
You can have as many different kind of browsers open as you like.

marty3888 (1449) | 1 year ago | Thanks, sketcher. That helps alot.

5. cupkitties (582) | 1 year ago | IE I have been unable to use for a while because it will not connect. I have used FF for a long time. I installed Netscape and used it for when FF was acting up on me, but then It stopped functioning properly and I got a message that Netscape would no longer be supported. I discovered Flock and I looove it even better than FF. Flock is from Mozilla the same people as FF. I love it because it not only lets me use FF extensions but it lets me Stream favorite pictures and videos, It remembers my favorite sites, Email, has a people side bar to keep track of what my friends are doing and tons of other stuff.

6. Holv03 (373) | 1 year ago | I have two browsers up on my computer which the usual is IE but I have downloaded Mozilla Firefox which is the one I have been using the most since I think is better than IE. Firefox has a lot of things that IE doesn't have and it also has spell check and many other things that make it a lot better. My IE is good and all but I prefer Firefox.

|
SketcherD (382) | 1 year ago | There are a lot of people that are saying the same thing about Firefox. I use it almost exclusively.

| |
| |
|
|
SketcherD (382) | 1 year ago | You should try using a different browser just to see if there is another one you like better. Besides it makes you learn more about your computer that way.

8. munhozmib (2643)  | 1 year ago | Hello, SketcherD!
I have never thought about it. It really makes sense. What if I am using Internet Explorer and, by some reason, it gets down and doesn't work anymore? Then I would probably have to go to another Computer, download a new browser, save it on a CD or something like that, come back here and install it. That seems to be a lot of trouble, compared to just using the second browser that was previously downloaded for security reasons. However, I do not think that my browser is going down so soon. I have been using Internet for a long time, and I know what to click and what not to. I also know how to avoid viruses and things like that, so it would be pretty hard for my Browser to get corrupted by some kind of mistake. Nice idea, though. I recommend it to users with lots of troubles. My computer is a bit full, so I will not download any second browser yet. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Respectfully, Munhozmib.

SketcherD (382) | 1 year ago | Hello Munhozmib.
You are right that is exactly what we had to have some customers do. Go to another computer and download another browser to a thumb drive or something to be able to get their computer back on the internet. Usually these people are not as tech savvy as you would hope and this proves to be very, very difficult for them. They sometimes had to have a friend or family member do it for them.
This is why I put this discussion here for people to be aware before there is an issue.

munhozmib (2643) | 1 year ago | Thank you for the Best Response.
Yet there might be users who won't think about downloading it in another computer, it would be great to leave special archives in a CD. Archives to put back in the computer after you format your hard disk or something like that. By the way, I have downloaded another browser. In fact, I am using it right now.

9. wahmivy (539) | 1 year ago | I have Firefox and IE. I really need both, no matter how many times I re-download IE, there is always a bug. However, my work email and tracker necessitate the use of IE. Personally, I prefer using Firefox.
| |
| |
|
|
SketcherD (382) | 1 year ago | Yes a lot of work places use IE exclusively. I also prefer Firefox and use it as much as I can.

10. chris_h360 (103) | 1 year ago | Mozilla Firefox is the best web browser you can use. IE uses active x. You can read all about active x by googling it. Mozilla firefox is better, looks better, and the risks involved with IE are so bad compared to the very low percentage of risk with Mozilla Firefox.
| |
| |
|
|
SketcherD (382) | 1 year ago | There are not as many people that create viruses out there creating them to come through Firefox, I find anyway. Until those people figure out that Firefox is being used as much as it is by people there won't be as many problems as with IE.
