Available for Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows Vista, Internet Explorer 7 is a vast improvement on earlier versions. In some areas such as tabbed browsing and enhanced RSS feeds, it appears as if IE has finally caught up to the rest of the browser pack.

For a while it looked as if Mozilla’s Firefox browser was destined to become a huge threat to Internet Explorer in the web browser wars. Firefox has continued to slowly but steadily eat away at IE’s market share, and for good reason. In many ways it was just a better overall browser than IE 5 or 6. Enter Internet Explorer 7.

Just because everyone feels that they have a solution to someone else’s problems, new forms of technology are created. Some technology is created to process word files and improve the use of the computer while others are created to enhance the use of the Internet.

Several browsers are created one competing against the other as far as performance goes. Two highly competitive browsers are Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Firefox.

Internet Explorer has been around since the creation of windows. It is used by several individuals. It has many wonderful browsing features as well as some safety features such as a pop up blocker. Though it is extremely popular, Firefox is gaining momentum as people are catching onto the numerous benefits.

One benefit that Firefox has that totally outdoes Internet Explorer is the enhanced popup blocker. Unlike Internet Explorer’s popup blocker that only halfway does the trick, Firefox’s popup blocker blocks out all of the annoying ads. You’ll never again have to see them on your computer. What’s more, you do not need supplemental programs to block annoying ads as does Internet Explorer.

This is great, especially if you are going to sites you’ll use more than once such as Google or advertising sites like Craigslist. This detail alone is not only a time saver: but, it makes life online easier.

When using Firefox, you’ll also have better online security. Spyware, adware and malicious software cannot automatically install themselves into the browser unlike Internet Explorer. This means that you’ll not have to worry about your browser being hijacked to the point of having to repair your OS or totally reformat it all together.

For example, its tight security makes ActiveX impossible to run which is a major problem since countless developers use ActiveX to deliver various applications to desktops. This makes it impossible to ditch Internet Explorer completely as if you wanted to use ActiveX, you’ll need to switch browsers.

Also, just because you have switched to Firefox does not mean that you should forget about updating and patching Internet Explorer on a regular basis. Though Firefox is a great browser, you’ll still need to rely on Internet Explorer for certain things, especially when it comes to making up for the weaknesses found in Firefox.
