Firefox, iPhone fix and X

Browsing slooooow?

Many people blame an old computer or their internet connection when web browsing feels pokey, but the browser itself matters too: Google’s Chrome, Microsoft’s Edge, and Apple’s Safari all compete with Mozilla Firefox for users. 

Which one is best? Depends on your specific setup. Chrome is the market leader but Mozilla, the rare tech non-profit, has just completely rebuilt Firefox (download here) and it’s FAAAST and sleek, plus it has built-in screenshots.  Apple’s Safari was also updated in the latest MacOS, High Sierra, and has some cool new features.  Good to have options!

The auto-correct bug is fixed

Install the latest update if your iPhone was creating weird characters when you typed “I”–but backup first, just in case.
 

iPhone X: What’s the Deal?

Pro:

• Big screen in a small body
• Everything else about it is Apple’s top of the line
• FaceID–unlocking your phone with your face instead of your finger–is getting mostly positive reviews so far (twins, beware!)
• Wireless charging is a pleasure

Con:

• Losing the Home button requires learning some new tricks
• The PRICE!! With optional AppleCare, a case, and maybe a wireless charger, you’re closing in on $1,300 before tax. Yowch.
