What is Firefox?

Firefox is a browser, not made by Microsoft, but it is better than Microsoft in some places.

As for some web pages that will remind you that your browser is out of date, it is purely advertising, even if you use Firefox.

The comparison between Firefox and IE is as follows (picked online).

1, Firefox browser security: Because many Trojan viruses threaten IE, they are not effective for Firefox, and Firefox has a large number of additional protection extensions to provide downloads, which is very safe. As long as the system vulnerabilities are patched, the virus database of anti-virus software will often be upgraded to the latest, and it will generally not be poisoned if you don't download things from those small websites;

2. Practicality and individuality: Firefox is called open source software because it opens its own underlying code and allows thousands of engineers around the world to develop software for you, so that the * * * loopholes will be quickly filled. There are many extensions available. Firefox is very convenient to download and use. For example, you can download an advanced calculator software and install it in the toolbar, which is very convenient for daily work and can customize the weather forecast. It seems that the data is updated every half hour, which is very convenient and accurate. Open the website with IE7. If the downloaded pictures are downloaded one by one, it will make your wrist uncomfortable for a while, but Firefox has a small extension, DownloadHelper 2.3. !

Personality is that you can change the theme of Firefox browser skin at will, and you can download extensions, so that you can design your own browser desktop and set it yourself. Compared with the monopoly and rigidity of Microsoft IE7, I believe you will feel what a cool experience is.

3.Firefox takes up less resources than IE7. Open the home page of Zhongguancun Online and six pages of this website, and find that the task manager IE7 has occupied more than 160 megabytes of memory resources. Turn this off, and then open the above webpage with Firefox browser. The memory only accounts for more than 90 megabytes. I think Firefox has the upper hand. The reason why Zhongguancun Online is used for the experiment is that every page of this webpage takes up a lot of space, and the animated characters on the webpage are illustrated, so this experiment is used.

4. The speed of opening a webpage: In this respect, the two are similar, and Firefox is a little faster but very limited.
