I stopped using Internet Explorer several months ago.
I downloaded Mozella Firefox and I notice that I have by far less spyware to get rid of.
Firefox add ons let you transfer IE favourites, so you won't feel the loss when you transfer to using it.
Pages load faster too

You have to go on a dodgy website for it to effect you. i dont think I will be swapping browsers anytime soon... All you people who use iffy websites and passwords to get into them are at risk.... cant believe some of the people on here use those sites and need a different browser.... wow :)

bacuse he uses Linux?????

:D


Also try Opera as a browser, I find its more intuitive and has some nice features that OPera needs add ons etc to match.

At the end of the day, Its about trying as many as you can find and seeing which one suits you. Each person is wired slightly differently and ones mans poison etc.
