We all have noticed that when we try to get onto the internet and then it goes extremely slow. It isn’t the entire computers fault. The browser, Internet Explorer, is one of the slowest browsers there are in my opinion. Firefox would be a much better choice than Internet Explorer. It is so much faster and safer.

Mitch Wiggins, junior, said, "I don’t really know much about different browsers, but I consider Firefox to be superior in every way."

There are many more features that come with the Firefox browser; for instance, ABP, which stands for Ad Block Plus, is a feature that blocks ads from appearing on the website which allows the page to load much faster than it normally would. Firefox includes many features designed to improve security. It has a phishing detector to help prevent scams being committed over the internet.

Patrick Walden, junior, said, "I think that not having Firefox and instead we have Internet Explorer is stupid and ineffective. It would be more beneficial to our learning process if we had a better internet browser."

When I first started using Firefox, I can admit that I didn’t really like it, but once I learned to use all of the great features and learned to customize it, I was hooked. The comparison of loading times between Firefox and Internet Explorer is tremendous. The pages load faster than Internet Explorer.
