Last but not least, a safe browser should offer tools to help you keep an eye on your accounts. Think of alerts that go straight to your email if any of your accounts get breached or icons that tell you whether a website is encrypted, (i.e., if it’s a good idea to enter your credit number on a shopping site).

There are a few ways a browser can help its users stay secure. A browser that is up to date with the latest security tech can help protect your computer and websites from unwanted visitors, such as malware or computer viruses.

We wish it were more straightforward, but your { -brand-name-chromebook } would prefer to keep you in the { -brand-name-google-play } ecosystem. However, we think it’s worth the effort to install the { -brand-name-firefox } browser to your { -brand-name-chromebook } – and we’ve got resources to help you if you need them. There are two ways to get { -brand-name-firefox } on your device.

{ -brand-name-google } { -brand-name-chrome } is by all accounts a secure browser, with features like { -brand-name-google } Safe Browsing, which helps protect users by displaying an impossible-to-miss warning when they attempt to navigate to dangerous sites or download dangerous files.

While { -brand-name-chrome } proves to be a safe web browser, its privacy record is questionable. { -brand-name-google } actually collects a disturbingly large amount of data from its users including location, search history and site visits. { -brand-name-google } makes its case for data collection saying it’s doing it to improve its services – like helping you find a sweater or a coffee shop like the one you previously bought or visited. However, others might disagree, making the point that { -brand-name-google } is actually gathering an unprecedented amount of data for its own marketing purposes. They tout that they’re keeping your information private from hackers, but that’s beside the point. { -brand-name-google } itself runs the world’s largest advertising network, thanks in large part to data they harvest from their users.

{ -brand-name-edge } has some nice UI features, like their tab previews which can make it easy to find the right open tabs if you’ve got a lot of them open. Another helpful tab-related feature lets you set aside any active tabs that you aren’t using but don’t want to close down.

Here we’ll compare our { -brand-name-firefox-browser } to the { -brand-name-chromium }-based { -brand-name-microsoft } { -brand-name-edge } in terms of privacy, utility, and portability, to help you have a better understanding of which browser better suits your needs and preferences.

Here we’ll compare our { -brand-name-firefox-browser } with { -brand-name-ie } in terms of security, utility, and portability. We’ll help you understand the differences between how a modern browser like { -brand-name-firefox } that adheres to web standards compares with the browser you may be using for business purposes or out of old habits that die hard.

So what’s the solution if your company is running outdated apps that only work on { -brand-name-ie }? Our best advice for you personally is, don’t mix business with pleasure. The simple thing to do is download and use a more secure browser like { -brand-name-firefox }. Then, if you need to do things like check your personal email or shop online, you can just switch over to the more secure browser. The bottom line is, if { -brand-name-microsoft } is warning people not to use { -brand-name-ie }, don’t use it. Your online privacy and security are not worth risking because you (or your company) have a hard time breaking an old habit. We make { -brand-name-firefox } with security and privacy features like <a { $lockwise }>{ -brand-name-lockwise }</a>, our password manager, private browsing and lots of other add-ons that help us make the web safer for you. Also, our <a { $privacy }>Privacy Policy</a> is straightforward: we tell you what we know about you, and why we collect that information. All of these things obviously go beyond what { -brand-name-ie } offers, and even what other modern browsers like { -brand-name-google } { -brand-name-chrome } and { -brand-name-microsoft } { -brand-name-edge } offer.

Looking for a better browser? We’ll compare { -brand-name-firefox } with { -brand-name-chrome }, { -brand-name-edge }, { -brand-name-safari }, { -brand-name-opera }, { -brand-name-brave } and { -brand-name-ie } to help you make your decision.

Looking for a better browser? We’ll compare { -brand-name-firefox } with { -brand-name-chrome }, { -brand-name-edge }, { -brand-name-safari }, { -brand-name-opera } and { -brand-name-ie } to help you make your decision.

The { -brand-name-firefox-browser } and { -brand-name-opera } are two of the earliest browsers on the scene still releasing frequent updates. While { -brand-name-opera } has not reached the same level of user adoption as { -brand-name-firefox } or { -brand-name-google } { -brand-name-chrome }, it’s maintained a relatively stable and loyal base over a sustained period of time. In this review, we’ll compare the { -brand-name-opera } browser with our { -brand-name-firefox } browser in terms of security and privacy, utility, and portability to help you choose which browser might be the best fit for you.

{ -brand-name-firefox } helps you be more private online by letting you block trackers from following you around the web.

Nearly all major browsers have a private browsing setting. These exist to hide the browsing history from other users on the same computer. Many people think that private browsing or incognito mode will hide both their identity and browsing history from internet service providers, governments and advertisers. They don’t. These settings just clear the history on your system, which is helpful if you’re dealing with sensitive personal information on a shared or public computer. { -brand-name-firefox } goes beyond that.

{ -brand-name-firefox } isn’t slow… now. In 2017, we completely rebuilt our browser engine (called Quantum), to ensure { -brand-name-firefox } could compete with other major browsers. And, our tracker blockers help pages load even faster. So { -brand-name-firefox } is lightning fast without sacrificing any of your privacy.

Not only is { -brand-name-firefox } safe to use, it also helps keep your data and private information safe. The { -brand-name-firefox-browser } automatically blocks known third party trackers, social media trackers, cryptominers and fingerprinters from collecting your data. <a href="{ $url }">Learn more about the privacy in our products.</a>

In some cases, an ad blocker can help your browser go faster. When an ad is loading, it can slow down a website. At the same time, it takes longer to find what you’re looking for if you’re too busy closing yet another ad.

{ -brand-name-firefox } is a browser with a conscience. As part of the technology non-profit { -brand-name-mozilla }, we fight for your online rights, keep corporate powers in check and help educate developing countries on healthy Internet practices. So when you choose { -brand-name-firefox }, we’re choosing you, too.

This is a good time to thank you for helping us make { -brand-name-firefox } better and to give you some pointers to documentation, communication channels and news sites related to { -brand-name-nightly } that may be of interest to you.

If you have a { -brand-name-firefox-account }, you can also see how we’re helping you protect your personal info and passwords.

<strong>Avoid naming your phone, tablet or computer after yourself.</strong> It might seem convenient and easy to remember but it also helps others to recognize them as yours.

If you want to learn more about the latter, here’s <a href="https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/how-to-spot-real-fake-news/">an interesting blog post</a> that can be helpful.

There are a bunch of tools that can help improve your level of privacy and security. And that’s great! However, you’ll still require passwords to protect your accounts. Would you expect the newest high-end home security system to protect you from burglars if you had no apartment door? Here’s what to do:

<strong>We love social media!</strong> However, these websites (and others) might not work properly when you’re browsing privately: They will not only track what you do while being logged in, but also your activities beyond the respective network that takes place in the same browser window. For them, your browsing information is particularly valuable because they’re able to connect it to your account and might ultimately get to know you better than some of your best friends. Worried? No need to, { -brand-name-firefox } is here to help: Get the { -brand-name-facebook-container } extension, which makes it harder for { -brand-name-facebook } to track you on the web outside of { -brand-name-facebook }.

<strong>Wondering how you’re supposed to come up with and remember all your passwords and security answers?</strong> Please don’t write them on a piece of paper that you keep next to your computer (yep, people do that). Instead, get a password manager that not only safely store your passwords, security answers and other private information, but also helps you generate random passwords and lets you easily use them across all of your devices.

For better or worse, we’re going to be using passwords to protect our online accounts for the foreseeable future. Use passwords that are <strong>strong</strong> and <strong>different for each site</strong>, and use a <strong>password manager</strong> to help you remember them safely. Set <strong>long, random answers</strong> for security questions (even if they’re not the truth). And <strong>use two-factor authentication</strong> on any site that supports it.

Protecting your accounts doesn’t have to be complicated — and { -brand-name-firefox } can help.

Your browser also helps keep you informed about how trustworthy sites are, to help keep you safe from phishing. On the one hand, when you try to visit a website that is known to be a phishing site, { -brand-name-firefox } (and any major browser) will display a full-screen warning — <strong>pay attention and think twice about using that site!</strong>

Choosing { -brand-name-firefox } helps { -brand-name-mozilla } make the internet a better place. Here’s what you can do next:

Spread the word about { -brand-name-firefox } and help your favorite people say goodbye to { -brand-name-chrome }.
