BROWSERS

Newer browsers better support  Web Standards, which means that most websites you visit will work properly, and look better. You'll have a much happier internet experience with the latest version of your favourite browser.

Using older browsers can also be dangerous to the security of your computer. Vulnerabilities are constantly found in older browsing platforms that could allow malicious websites to run programs on your machine. 

Upgrading your browser is a good idea, even if you don't choose to use this site.
