Firefox all the way :P

I used IE all my computer-life (almost 6 years) and can only say it really is a pain in the butt.

I used antivirus, antispyware and other security tools along with IE and always found stuff that went through the browser.

When I tried out Firefox (in its 0.9 version) I was surprised to find that it had many security features. It will tell me if a site wants to install software, open a pop-up, etc. I haven't had any security problems since then.

And the possibility to add extensions is great, now I can have a color picker, calendar, and many other things in the browser. Useful indeed.

The only downside is that Firefox and Thunderbird are awfully slow and tend to freeze, but I can live with it.

I still sometimes use IE for testing my site's design (to see how most people will see it), but the lastest design I made is 100% Firefox compatible. Dotted borders and all, you just have to know how to use HTML and CSS. ;)

This is what happens when MS sleeps in their glory. They had made another bad move (IMO) a year ago or more (I'm not exactly an up-to-date person :$) about not letting people download IE6 and above.
