Internet Explorer Alternative

For those of you like me who may be searching for an alternative to IE. Here is the best run at Microsoft in a long time.

Firefox

Its fast as hell loading images etc, plus tabbed browsing rocks.

Firefox is awesome. I switched over a few months ago. It's safer, cleaner and faster.

The best part: NO POP-UPS!!! Firefox won't allow it.

Second, if you're surfing at work, it's a lot safer. ;)
It doesn't leave a trail of breadcrumbs like IE does.

Re: Internet Explorer Alternative

Do you want IE to improve? If you do, pimp firefox to everyone you know. Competition will make Microsoft better.

Fever Mike- i have thought about getting a mac for graphics use but i dont know anything about them. can you use them the same way as a PC. go online an stuff like that and if so are they still susceptible to spyware and all the other crap you get online? thanks

Re: Internet Explorer Alternative

The macs are 99.999% virus free and run on a much better OS than MicroSoft's. The only downside is that there aren't nearly as many software programs written for the macs.

Yes you can. I have both. Also, when you install Firefox, it will import all of your favorites & settings from IE if you want it to.

Re: Internet Explorer Alternative

Been using Firefox for few days, IMHO it's faster so in my book better.

I run IE and Firfox one beside the other and click for the same pages and FF was faster. Ther is some issue with integration with other programs but nothing major. Nice to have a choice.
