Answer» Hi - I have Windows 7 64 bits. Since I got my computer I have used Internet Explorer as my browser. I have been told that Internet Explorer has a problem and that I should use another browser. TWO questions. First which browser would be best for me? I only use the computer for small stuff - e-mail, solitare, jigsaw puzzles, etc. Second how do I change browsers? Keep in mind that I am not smart with computers. BobA browser is a very personal thing that people seem to get very defensive about. There is no "best browser" it all just comes down to what you prefer. Sure Internet Explorer may not be as fast as other browsers in direct comparisons but it is by no means a bad browser. If you are happy with Internet Explorer then then there is no need to change it.
If you really do want to change browsers are free so there is no problem just trying a few to see what you prefer and then sticking with that. I would suggest trying Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox first of all and see how you get on with them.
To change browser it is just a case of downloading and installing it like you would with any other program. When you open it it will probably ask to be your "default browser", you can just agree to this to make the new browser open when you click links in other programs.camerongray - Thanks for your reply.

Yahoo is not a web browser, it's a website. So, what does Yahoo have to do with your question about browsers? soybean - OK you caught me saying something I did not mean. What happened was that the drop down panel said my browser had a problem and they offered Yahoo, which I took. I noticed that my home page was now Yahoo. After using it for a COUPLE of hours I did not like it so I went back to IE and my home page went back to suddenlink. I can not explain any more than this because all previous work is gone. Sorry BobGoogle Chrome. It can't be wrong.Feel free to ignore the above Post...
