Browsers Important?

I'm not sure if a blogger has ever told you that they missed a day's post because of the lag or a browser/computer crash that sometimes they experience. Mainly the CMS (Content Management System) such as WordPress has been blamed a lot for the lag, but sometimes it really isn't the CMS or the Database (which sometimes it can be), but really, your browser plays an important role in blogging.

How are browser important? Well, for example, if you use Internet Explorer 6 (which some users still do, believe me), and that becomes your default browser to edit, upload, and add things onto your blog, chances are that somewhere along the road, Internet Explore will crash and lag many times which will cause many of us bloggers to go crazy. On the other hand, if you use a fast browser such as Firefox 3, the loading speed has increased in Firefox 3, the memory used by Firefox 3 has been decreased, and security has gotten better since the Version 2 of Firefox. This is really important to a blogger because

1) Security

With many exploits and being implemented into sites, Firefox 3 can prevent malware and exploits from going onto your computer and also prevent it from disturbing you while you are working on your blog or even typing up a post. This will allow you more time and patience on writing posts without having to bother with a pop-up that shows every single minute or so.

2) Speed

Speed is another really important feature to a blogger, nobody will wait 13 minutes for a post (unless it's a long one) because some browsers will give you a connection error and you will have to restart, losing all your information, but Firefox 3 with JavaScript 1.8 (and other tech words you guys won't understand), Javascript that now includes expression closures, generator expression and array reduce. Means that pages, website, just about any media online is loaded faster for you, and with more speed comes more faster page load. To make this more understandable, it is like using Dial-up to download a 300MB file online instead of Cable.

3) Reliability

I know that there is a bloggers who are reading this post that have either yelled, kicked, or tossed their computer out the window because of some program errors and/or crashes. Many users today need a reliable browser that can save their work in time of a crash, load pages without showing a error every second, and a browser that doesn't take much space. New features in Firefox 3 that increases the reliability of Firefox 3 is features such as the One-Click Bookmarking which can be useful to us who need fast bookmarking when reading a site. Even the Firefox 3 session restore is important because if Firefox 3 crashes anywhere in typing a post or even an email, you’ll pick up where you left off, even down to the last word you typed with Session Restore.

These are very important to regular users and bloggers because all these can affect not only them, but their blogs as well. If security was crappy in a browser, chances are that a hacker would be able to get to your computer via browser then to your account and passwords. If speed was slow, the amount it would take to save pages or even load them would turn many of us mad. Without reliability, we would have 30 different programs installed on our computer instead of Firefox 3 (which has it all). As you can see, these are very important, if you want to test drive the new Firefox 3 and see just how serious and dramatically Firefox 3 has increased, goto Mozilla and download Firefox 3!
