Firefox is an internet browser that is developed by the Mozilla Foundation. Compared to the Internet Explorer, I found that Firefox is better in execution, loads the web pages at a faster rate, and the browser also contains the menu bar. I liked the extensive search engine that is located on the top right corner which is not available in Internet Explorer and the tabbed browsing that allows me to open multiple web pages in one window rather than opening new windows. As you come across interesting links on the web page you’re reading, you can open them in new tabs for later viewing without getting distracted and losing your place (Ross, 2011). I could download and upload files very quickly using Firefox. Firefox also has a broad window for viewing the content of the web pages and I need not scroll more to read the content. I would recommend others to use Firefox browser because it is open software and anyone can help to improve the browser, it has distinctive add-ons and a download manager and the graphics load very clearly compared to Internet Explorer.
The Microsoft Password Checker utility allows us to create strong passwords that can be used for any online transactions, to store computer documents and user accounts. It is very easy for the hackers to hack the user password who are online and the password checker helps us in evaluating the password strength. The password checker verifies if the password entered is more than or equal to 8 characters, and if the password is complex by combining the punctuations, letters, symbols, numbers and wild characters. A password is considered to be strong if it is 14 characters in length. The password checker also checks if the entered password can be found in the dictionary. The passwords that are entered in the password checker box are rated accordingly. The best part of the password checker is that it does not store or transmit the information provided in the password checker box.
