Sufficiently Secure Browsers

Why You Shouldn't Use Internet Explorer

I strongly recommend not using Internet Explorer because it's still not sufficiently secure. skip

Internet Explorer 7 Is Still Not Safe Enough
You may use Internet Explorer if you like, but I don't recommend it. Here's why.
Here's a harmless but unnerving example of why.
If you aren't afraid of a few technical words, this page is very short and to the point.
Internet Explorer Is Too Dangerous to Keep Using
Internet Explorer Is Just Too Risky
CERT, a highly regarded, federally funded security research organization, recommends that Explorer users consider other browsers that are not affected by attacks on IE, such as Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape and Opera.
Why Is Anyone Still Using Internet Explorer?
You're missing out on what is visually the best web surfing experience currently possible.
Use a better browser.
Browse Happy
Switch to Firefox

Sufficiently Secure Alternatives

skip

Try a better, faster browser. If you want more than just a browser, try one of these free Internet application suites.

SeaMonkey (based on Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird - includes web browser, e-mail and newsgroup client, WYSIWYG web page composer / HTML editor and IRC chat client - for web developers, mozilla.org's DOM inspector and JavaScript debugger tools)
Mozilla Suite (no longer updated)

If you want to use the best and fastest browser, and aren't interested in the other programs included with a suite, download Opera, a sufficiently secure browser for Windows, Mac OS X and other BSDs and GNU/Linux. skip

Opera

If you want to expand your browser's features with extensions, download the award-winning Mozilla Firefox browser.

Warning: Firefox used to be a fast and stable brower, but unfortunately it's now slow and prone to using all of your computer's memory and freezing your system so it no longer responds. skip

Other Sufficiently Secure Alternatives

skip

Netscape Browser (based on Mozilla Firefox)
For an alternative to Mozilla Suite (no longer updated), Firefox and Opera, check out Camino, a browser recommended by c|Net over Safari, the default Mac OS X browser, for advanced security settings and privacy features.
NoTrax, a commercial browser for Windows from the makers of Eraser, won't save your browsing or surfing history.

Sufficiently Secure E-Mail Software

skip

Use Thunderbird (free - for Windows, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux) instead of Outlook Express.

Most viruses, worms and trojan horses are aimed at users of Outlook Express (and Internet Explorer - see above for more information). If you use Outlook Express and want to greatly lessen the probability of such attacks, consider switching to Mozilla Thunderbird, a sufficiently secure and easy-to-use alternative e-mail program.
