Why do I need an up-to-date browser?
There are three reasons why you should consider updating your web browser.
- Security
Older web browsers may have security defects that render them vulnerable to viruses and other forms of attacks. Upgrading to a current web browser will provide better protection from these threats. - Performance
Current web browsers are faster, more usable, and more stable. - User Experience
Today’s websites use technologies such as HTML5 and CSS3, which are not fully supported by older web browsers. By using an out-of-date browser, you may not be able to access all the content and features that are available.
