Keeping your Internet browser up-to-date is important for both security and ensuring that web pages load properly. We also recommend that you update any plug-ins, extensions, or other add-ons you have installed.

## 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](https://4property.com/why-is-my-site-not-working-on-internet-explorer-11/) 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](https://4property.com/why-is-my-site-not-working-on-internet-explorer-11/). By using an out-of-date browser, you may not be able to access all the content and features that are available.
