No matter the browser you choose to use, chances are you’ve been prompted to upgrade to the latest version. Have you ignored that pop-up window? Have you been thinking, not now, maybe later? Most Internet users do just that. Whether you prefer Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Google Chrome, Opera, or SeaMonkey, this article will explain why you should pay attention to those upgrade notifications.
While each browser has its benefits and drawbacks, all are required to adhere to standards set by the W3C (or World Wide Web Consortium). As these standards are updated, web browsers are required to update their system. Not only does this provide a quality-standard for web browsers, it creates for the user a better Internet experience. Some of the latest features in web development include CSS3, HTML5, SVG, faster loading and more fluid layouts. When you take the time to update your chosen browser, you avail yourself to these features at faster speeds. If you hesitate or postpone these updates, you deny yourself a greater user experience.
If not for any other reason, you should update your browser to maintain the highest Internet security possible. In fact, most of the WC3’s new regulations are established because of security issues. Using an older version of a browser may allow unfriendly websites to read and damage your files, steal your passwords, infect your devices with viruses, etc.
Now that you know how important web browser updates can be, take the time to upgrade yours each time you are notified. You’ll not only have a more pleasurable Internet experience, you’ll benefit from more secure exploring.
