I got the new Firefox update on the 15th of November. Mozilla say that it’s faster than the old Firefox. I actually haven’t noticed any difference in speed but Firefox has now got square tabs, which look better than its old curved ones, and it’s more customizable.
Firefox was the first browser I used when I got my own computer. My first computer was either windows 7 or windows XP, I can’t remember which. Back then, I didn’t know that any browsers existed except for Firefox and Internet Explorer. I used Firefox for most things because it was faster, but when Firefox crashed I would use Internet Explorer, which was more reliable. Later, the computer overheated and broke so I got another windows 7 computer. My parents had discovered Google Chrome by now and my mum had switched to it because it was even faster. However, my dad kept using Firefox because he was used to it and his bookmarks were on it. I decided to keep using Firefox too. Eventually, I got a windows 8.1 computer, which I am still using today. I started using a maths website, Mathletics, to practice maths, but it only worked on Google Chrome so I had to download it. I liked how simple Chrome was but I still liked Firefox better because of its menu bar. I like the Firefox bookmarks better than the Chrome bookmarks. I also like Mozilla, the creators of Firefox, because they seem to actually care about their customers. Their motto is “internet for people, not profit.” They advertise Firefox, but they don’t say that you have to use it otherwise you’ll never get anything done. They tell you how to update Firefox, but they also tell you how to update Internet Explorer, Safari and Google Chrome! I don’t think many companies help you use their compeditors’ browsers! They’re really nice.
I like the new Firefox update. It’s good to see that Firefox is competing with all the other browsers, and hopefully people will switch to it in the future, but I think if they want to beat Google Chrome, they need to be even faster. I still use Firefox for most of the things I need a browser for but I use Google Chrome for Mathletics. I don’t use Internet Explorer anymore; it isn’t reliable anymore. I think Microsoft might have stopped checking it for bugs because they’re too busy with Microsoft Edge.
What do you think about browsers? Which browsers do you use for what, and which browser is your favourite? Feel free to comment and share your ideas.
