In the recent attacks against search giant Google, it was reported that hackers used a security hole in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer.
While this may have prompted some users to look for safer alternative web browsing software, Microsoft simply recommends simply updating to the latest version of Internet Explorer.

Now for those still keen on seeing ‘what else is out there’, here are some popular alternatives.
