Why Upgrade?
One of the biggest ways you can make a difference is by encouraging others to update from Internet Explorer 6 to a modern browser. Not only is Internet Explorer 6 outdated technology and incompatible with much of new web technology available, it also poses substantial security risks to users.
We passionately recommend that you upgrade to Firefox, although there are a variety of modern web browsers available that will help more people experience a better Internet. We have assembled a guide of popular modern browsers to help you choose the browser that works best.
While you're at it, we also recommend that you update plugins like Flash, Java and Quicktime and where possible, set these plugins up to automatically update, protecting users from security threats and helping them enjoy the best Internet they can.
