Windows users, like Mac users, have always had the option of installing a different browser to the one pre-installed on their computer. However, for the casual PC user, the internet, quite simply, has been Internet Explorer, until now that is.
After pressure from the European commission, Microsoft has agreed to proactively offer the user of one of browser twelve browsers. These options will become available to those that update via the Microsoft Windows update system from today (Monday, 1st March 2010).
Here is a list of the browsers that the user will be able to select from:
- Avant
- Chrome
- Firefox
- Flock
- Green Browser
- Internet Explorer
- K-meleon
- Maxthon
- Opera
- Safari
- Sleipnir
- Slim
My recommendation, as it has been for some time, would be Firefox. Now we just need to find out how we can automatically update all IE6 users.
