Free QuoteWhy you need to update your browser
7/3/12
The internet is ever evolving, and like it or not your browser plays a huge role in how you interact with and view every website. Along with vanity and presentation obstacles, there are other issues to consider when sticking with an outdated browser; slow speed, limited and lack of features, security issues, a variety of bugs, and more often than not broken functionality.
In this day in age, websites are being built for the 2012 and 2013 market using current trends. Web designers are a creative technology driven kind and we build for the times. This means using new code languages and features unsupported by incompatible older browsers. When you upgrade your browser you are not only viewing a website as it’s meant to be seen; using a website as it’s meant to be used; you are also supporting the advancement of the web.
What are the benefits to updating your browser?
SECURITY: Newer browsers protect better against scams, viruses, trojans, phishing and other threats. They also fix security holes in your current browser! Probably didn’t know you had security holes huh?- SPEED: With every new browser generation, your speed and page load time improve. No more endless waiting after every click.
- COMPATIBILITY: Websites using new technology will be displayed more correctly. If this is your first time updating, you won’t believe the difference!
- COMFORT & A BETTER EXPERIENCE: With new features, extensions and better customizability, you will have a more comfortable web-experience

To keep things simple, let’s use the advancement of music technology as our analogy. Beginning with the popular use of a cassette deck, the preferred source for listening to music from the 1980’s through the early 1990’s. For its time, the cassette deck was amazing and served its purpose well. In the mid 90’s Compact Disc technology ruled and virtually eliminated the need for a cassette player because CD’s were more efficient, modern, and the technology sounded better. Today music is mostly enjoyed via mp3 or through an online resource and no one has looked back since.
Your old browser is like an outdated music listening device, great for its time but relatively useless now. Internet Explorer (IE6) above all is a cassette player; wonderful for viewing a 2001 website, but please remember it’s now mid 2012 and you shouldn't stick a CD into a cassette player; it will break. CDs and tapes were listening vehicles for the technology of its time. Make sure you’re using the right equipment to view the internet; keep your browsing vehicle current with the web technology of today!
