Here’s what’s going on in ZAPPland…
Three Reasons to Upgrade Your Browser
We know constant browser updates can be pesky or downright annoying, but before you opt out of updating, here are three reasons why you should always make sure the Internet browser you’re using is the latest version.
- Starting June 20, 2016, users with outdated browsers may not be able to access ZAPP®. To ensure you have continued access to ZAPP® and all the features you need on the site, update your browser. LEARN MORE.
- Outdated browsers may contain vulnerabilities. Browser updates can resolve security flaws or patch known loopholes that may put you at risk while you’re browsing the Internet.
- Keeping your browser up-to-date is an important part of safely browsing the Internet, especially if you’re sending sensitive data, such as credit card information, online.
BONUS: Updated browsers sometimes feature changes or cool tweaks based on user feedback. Using the latest version of your browser will keep you savvy to those offerings.
