It’s hard to believe that there are still a large number of people who think that there is only one way to access the Internet and that’s with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. And why would they know otherwise?

You buy your new PC, get it home, plug it in, turn it on and there, neatly placed on the desktop is Internet Explorer. A quick double click and you have access to the world wide web. You enjoy many happy years surfing the net with no problems, which is fine and that’s great.

There are however, if you choose, alternatives to Internet Explorer which, if you give them a try, just may improve your Internet experience.

Below is a slection of web browsers all offering great features and benefits. To find out more simply give them a try.
