Benefits of Upgrading to a Modern Browser
- Security
Newer browsers protect you better from scams, viruses, trojans, phishing, and other threats. Because the software is still supported and regularly updated, they are able to address security issues as they arise. - Speed
Every new browser generation improves the speed of the user experience. - Compatibility
Websites using new technology will be displayed more accurately if you are using an updated browser. - Comfort & Better Experience
With new features, extensions, and better customization, you will have a more comfortable web experience. - Advancing the Web
Outdated browsers pose a number of security threats, slow the advancement of internet technology, and cost companies time and money in man hours for developers.
Updating is easy, it takes just a few minutes, and is free.
