 Once again, it's up to you, I can't insist. But my choice is FireFox.

+{{anchor:full:}}
+=== Installing via full (off-line) installer ===
+This is a recommended way of installing FireFox on freshly installed Windows computer. Download Firefox before [[:windows:installation|installing]] Windows and put it onto the same [[:windows:bootable_usb|bootable USB]] media. If you are installing Windows don't enable internet connection until you've completed [[:windows:tuning:block_windows_update|Block Windows Update]] step. So, I'll repeat it once again - please, download FireFox **before** installing Windows.
