I don't get you guys. I've allways used IE, and in all the years I've used it I never had any problems...there must be something I don't get.

my IE got infected by some regkey spyware thing so it's almost impossible to use. I got rid of the spyware but IE works shitty on my comp.

I use it. I like the tabs. I used to use Avant too, but that's basically IE.

I used Mozilla and didn't like it at all. It took forever to open and was a huge memory hog. Even IE ran faster than Mozilla. I've vowed to not switch browsers again. Actually, the only other decent browser is Safari on a Mac.

I use it. IE pisses me off. Tabs are great, and the built-in pop up blocker is awesome.

IE + Google ToolBar (with pop up blocker) = better then Mozilla

Spot on nightmare.

Firefox is shitty, it's so slow. IE is good, you just gotta learn how to keep your pc optimised.

Craig and Nightmare are right... IE and Google... that's the money. Oh yeah... Windows 2000 is good as well.

i keep my pc optimized with TuneUp utilities software
and IE is still far slower than firefox + network settings tweaks
IE doesn't even recognize CSS3 style sheet coding !
and with all the extensions and themes, i don't see any reason to use IE except for web pages that can't be viewed on firefox
and i haven't gotten a popup since i have run firefox
i also hate the clunky interface IE brings, and security threats
like this image that crashes any windows program
big red button
while not harmful as it is, the same exploit that makes this image crash your IE can be used to run viruses on your computer if you run your system without windows service pack 2
big red button

Firefox just looks really crap though. IE on XP looks alright really, the icons and stuff....

Diskeeper, Spyware Blaster, Google toolbar and IE

You can't go wrong....
