Mozilla Firefox
Who here uses mozilla then? you have to agree, that it is better than internet explorer (and any skins eg.Avant browser).
it is immune to the thousands of viruses that hi-jack internet explorer, and is a free download.
what more do you want???

You should have allowed multiple selections. There are people who use different browsers in different places, on different systems.

Hey. Just so you guys know, not many use mozilla. People who use mozilla come to see why it says their browser in the forums. Should have said, poll on browsers... not mozilla. Most people who not use mozilla will just ignore this. :gundge: :sniper: :mp5: :upyours: I love smileys.

I don't know on the viruses front, but I do know that MsIE is a shell, meaning it's not just a program running when you browse the web, but something running on your computer all the time as an integral part of Windows Operating System. Try typing "C:\" into the address bar, and you get the C: drive. Basically if somebody hacks into MsIE (which is easy for many people considering all the security loopholes) they can access your whole computer. Dangerous!!
Mozilla Firefox is open source, written by the people for the people. It isn't a gate to you whole computer, there aren't any security loopholes as if some appear there isn't a shadowy company hiding them to make more profit but a programmer notices it and corrects, and it is genuily a better browser: more aesthetic and with tabs. Tests have even shown it can load a page faster aswell.
So if you don't have Firefox already, download it now. Even if you prefer something else, having Norton is a bit pointless if you are still using MsIE for web-browsing.

You can also use Netscape (ugh - icky) and Opera...

True, but i know what im doing
Incidentally I got Mozilla specifically because of NS. The forum started to load painfully slowly in IE - I'm talking a matter of minutes per page - so downloaded firefox and it works like a dream.
