In a snippet you might have missed last week, depending on how computer literate you are, the US Computer Emergency Readiness Team advised people to switch browsers away from Internet Explorer. This was due to a fairly nasty Russian virus that attacked the numerous flaws inherent in Internet Explorer. Slate's Paul Boutin wrote a column suggesting to switch to Mozilla Firefox. Remember, he wrote this on a Microsoft-owed website. I made the switch a few weeks ago, and I love Firefox. As Boutin mentions, on occasion a website will block you from entering because it can't recognize the browser, but that is really rare. It's happened to me a grand total of once. Other than that, I love Firefox. It's more secure, and it looks slicker to boot.
