The US Government announced that there is a serious security flaw in the
Internet Explorer browser and has recommended that users switch to
another browser until it is patched.
Apparently IE versions 6 through 11 are affected.
The flaw allows hackers to take over all operations of your computer
including viewing files and getting any sensitive data.
Users of Windows XP are at a high risk because when the patch is
released it will not likely extend to XP.
Personally, I haven't used IE in years. I use Firefox and Chrome.
I've gotten to where I actually like Chrome.
What does Chrome do?
Nothing special, I reckon. It plays videos that I couldn't get to work on Firefox. Most of the
extraneous stuff can be shut off. And it seems quicker than either Firefox or IE.
