As most people are using the Windows operating system on their PC, it is likely they are also using Microsoft Internet Explorer to browse the web. However, there is a potential better alternative which is available for free.

Firefox is used by millions of people worldwide to browse the web every day. Firefox also recently achieved Guinness world record status for the highest number of downloads within 24 hours. You can read more about that over at BBC News.

Firefox claims is faster than Internet Explorer, mainly due to having using less memory on your computer, which means faster pages loads and better looking graphics.

Firefox also features several other handy features such as built in spell checking, full zoom capability - so you can zoom right in on any part of the web site you are viewing, and integrated web search with Google or your favourite search engine.
