Supported Browsers
Recommended Browser
Sidwell Recommends using Firefox for added security and speed due to the recent disclosure of severe security exploits in Internet Explorer and the recommendation to switch to an alternative browser, such as Firefox, by the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT), a division of the Department of Homeland Security.
Firefox is mozilla.org's premier Web browser. Firefox is available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and many different languages. It's small, fast, easy to use, and has hundreds of themes and extensions available to make the browser even more powerful. Firefox is a quick download, 4.5MB on Windows, about 10 minutes with a dial-up connection.
We suggest you use Firefox as your primary browser. Firefox is great for new users to the Web as well as long time Web surfers.
Key features in Firefox include:
- High grade security
- Tabbed Browsing
- Pop-up blocker and Image blocker
- Live Bookmarks
- Integrated with Google Search and more
- Easy to migrate from Internet Explorer, Safari, Netscape or Opera
