Week 6: Beyond Internet Explorer

I have Firefox on my office computer, and I downloaded and installed a Google toolbar—as required by this training program. I first installed Firefox on my home computer because IE crashed very often for no reason. Firefox definitely performs better than IE in this regard.

The two browsers both look very good. IE 7 thoughtfully offers more customization than in the past, such as the ability to add more search engines to its search field. Firefox's open-source status and myriad add-ons give it a community edge over IE 7. Firefox is very adaptable and customizable between all of its add-ons and themes. At this point, I am not very familiar with Firefox. For point-to-point comparison of these two browsers, I need more time to study their detailed features.
