Changing internet broser?
I have IE 9… Windows 7… I had problems with upgrading to IE 11…. With hearing about problems with IE think i should try another broser…
Not sure if i should just add it or do away with IE…
Am not PC savvy and really can use some help from anyone that is. good with Technology…
Don’t use any orther gadgets othe then the Internet…
To many to decide on…
Am an older Senior and as mentioned not savvy with doing any changes.
Would appreciate some replies concerning my issue..

Mozilla Firefox will walk you through the change, I’ve been using it for years and am very pleased with how easy it is, and no problems crop up. I, too, consider myself to be tech. challenged, but you would be "good to go" for internet, EASY! and I SKYPE my daughter who lives out of state.
Good luck, and if I can help I’ll be happy to try.

Hi Disgo!
There is a serious security issue with all versions of Internet Explorer right now. Microsoft itself and the NSA recommend that we NOT use IE until a patch is released.
I switched over to Chrome a couple of months ago and have been surprised at how much faster it is Chrome is a Google product, and is free.
Here’s how I did it:
I went directly to Google’s website and downloaded Chrome from there. After downloading, I exited IE. I opened Chrome, and started getting things set the way I like them.
First, the installation reset my default home page to Google…of course. So I had to reset that. To do that, I went to my prefered home page and used it’s prompts to "make this your home page".
Then I started working on settings. When you’re in Chrome, the icon in the extreme right upper corner is a stack of 3 horizontal lines. That’s where the main menu is. Click on "settings" and set up things the way you like.
Using Chrome is very similar to IE. Instead of open tabs on the bottom for each page (in IE), they’re on the top (in Chrome).
Hope this helps!
