Everyone knows about Internet Explorer and many people know how to use it.  However many people like it, they don’t know about what its disadvantages are.   This article will try to explain some of these “non-detectable” disadvantages. 

1. Speed.  Internet Explorer is very slow agaisnt its rival, Firefox.  Firefox is about two times faster than Internet Explorer.  This includes going from web page to web page, starting up the web browser, and downloading files from the web to your computer or laptop.  Speed is very important if you like being able to do many things in a short period of time.  This could be checking the weather report before traveling.  Whatever it is speed is a key factor.
2. Search Bar.  Internet Explorer uses Live Search as its search bar that loads up in the top right hand corner.  This is run by Microsoft.  Many people use Live Search as their default search engine, but more people use Google.  If your like me, you don’t use that search engine because you don’t even know its there or because you would rather just go to Google to do all of your searching.  If however you use that search engine a lot and would like to change it, click on the arrow facing down.  Then click “Find more providers”.  After that choose the web search engine you want to search with by click which one you want.  Lastly click add provider.  It will add it and to use it click the arrow again and select the one you chose.
3. Tabs.  If you didn’t already notice, in Internet Explorer the tabs are already out.  This takes up a little bit of the screen view and you can do as much with them.  When I say this, I mean that there are not as many features.  If you right click on an Internet Explorer tab you only get these options: close, close other tabs, refresh, refresh all, new tab.  You may think that this is a lot but if you use Firefox for instance you get these: new tab, reload tab, reload all tabs, close other tabs, bookmark this tab, bookmark all tabs, undo close tab, and close tab.

I hope by reading this that you take away something from it.  Although you probably didn’t know about these things, I wanted to be able to give you an insight on what they are.  I also hope that you will recognize these and make the switch to another web browser.  Thanks for reading!
