Laddi,

Internet (not Interent as spelled in the title) Explorer is a poorly designed browser with so many security vulnerabilities. The vast amount of threats out there target IE which also makes it a dumb choice. (Example: If you knew drawing a gang symbol on your car would make you a target of other violent gangs, would you still draw it?) In addition, IE got a 20/100 on the latest Acid 3 test in which Safari, Opera, Chrome, Firefox averaged in the high 70s, low 80s which makes these browsers four times better at loading/rendering scripts and websites.

You should try out Chrome, Laddi.
chrome < opera and ff3

I use all three. Chrome is useful when I need something done quickly - like check a class grade while Firefox I will use when actually doing work or plan on using for a while. Firefox has kickass plugins while Chrome's simplicity and quickness to load is really useful as well. In addition, Chrome search is awesome. But when surfing in general, Firefox is just a better and more durable speed boat.

Firefox all the way. Just make sure you disable certain add-ons on your favorite sites like BTF :):)
