Firefox Continues its Rise in Europe


I'm glad to see my favorite browser making headway. Significant competition is good for the users, good for the Internet, and good for Microsoft.

I don't see anything enlightened about using Firefox. I use it because it's not as secure as IE and therefor easier to do the things I want.

I'm a home user, ie not in an office, so it's okay with me that anybody can sat down at my pc, click the Firefox icon and go to a site that requires name/password, purchase something, pay for it with my cc or paypal account, without having to go through hoops.

In IE it's much harder, in fact if I pay by CC I must enter my number every time.

Yes, I can make it harder in Firefox, but I chose to make it easy. I can't choose to make it that easy with IE.

Now, in case anybody gets any ideas re breaking into my home to try this out, my cc is a debit card and that account rarely has more than $25 in it. Paypal uses that same card. The stuff I purchase online is usually in the $1.99 to 2.50 range.

(I actually made a purchase for more yesterday. Something that cost $26. But that was because I had a voucher in that store for $25 earned because they accepted one of my renders into the DAZ artist galleries. ::bowing:: )
