THE IMPORTANCE OF BROWSER UPDATES

Having a browser that is constantly updated is crucial if we want to browse safely online. In these hours Microsoft has launched Internet Explorer 9 that claims to be safer and to give priority to users’ privacy. Good news indeed. However, it’s good to remember that these features should have already been among Microsoft’s priorities at the moment of designing the infrastructure of their browser. Last year German analysts wrote that Explorer had several holes that allowed hackers to sneak into users’ private Internet habits. That’s why throughout the years Explorer lost consensus and users favored Mozilla Firefox, which I personally  prefer because of its velocity and addons.
