Why You Need to Keep Your Web Browser Current

During the course of surfing the internet you may that many of the web sites that you visit look strange or provide unexpected results. Design items or graphics do not appear to be lined up as expected, or menus may be inoperative. While there are many web designers that do not take the time to validate their source code to ensure cross browser compatibility, there is an equal chance that an outdated web browser is the cause of your problems.

In fact - you may have problems viewing the layout of this web site. Instead of using nested tables for the design layout, the formatting and most of the graphics are taken from CSS files. Cascading Style Sheets allow for more precise design controls, global updates, and smaller HTML file sizes.

Choosing A Web Browser

Since most browsers are relatively equal, choosing a web browser is more an issue of a personal choice rather than a functionality issue (although your operating system may also limit your browser choices if you are not running on a Windows based system)

Microsoft Internet Explorer is by far the most popular browser in use today, with a market share of approximately 70%. Other common browsers include Netscape, Mozilla, Opera, and Safari (Apple). The hottest browser on the market today - and a personal favorite of The Kosloff Group - is Firefox. It's a highly efficient browser without all of the clutter (and constant security issues) of Internet Explorer. What makes this browser even better is that there are literally thousands of plug-ins that you can pick and choose to suit your own web surfing needs. The links to these and other browsers are provided below.
