Keeping your web browser up to date is very important. Out of date web browsers can have serious security problems. By running an older web browser you'll also probably be missing out on useful new features which modern browsers support.
Choose your browser from the list below for a clear guide to updating your web browser.
Fortunately, most modern web browsers will automatically update themselves so that you're always running the most current version. You no longer need to actually "download and install" the latest version yourself; it will do it for you. Our guides (above) will help you start this process if your browser hasn't automatically done it for you.
