Exactly why I use Firefox! IE has too many holes and is way too embedded into the OS to be safe. |

Heard about that last night on the news but since I haven't used Internet Exploiter in ages I wasn't concerned. I was a big Firefox fan until a couple of months ago when it started acting wonky after an upgrade so I've been using Opera and it seems to do good. |

Using Firefox 3. IE sucks, never used it, never will. Especially a beta release. Not a big fan of Microsoft products. On my previous laptop used Ubuntu linux, very happy with it. But had to get a new one, Vista came preinstalled, don't like that btw, why don't they give you the chance to setup your partitions. So I though I might give Vista a should. Been happy with it, no major problems so far. Have Ubuntu installed on my moms laptop, much better OS. Sorry for long rant....

IMO - IE has always blown. Then again, aside from M$ Office for Mac ( you windows user's would freak if you experienced the bug-free version made for OS X) - everything M$ makes for the peecee blows. 
oh yeah, FireFox for Mac works great for me. And the Harley-Davidson theme is really cool too. |

This wasn't meant to be a Windows bashing thread. I just wanted people to know about this. Terry

I havent used IE in quite a while.. I used Opera for a bit, but then switched to Firefox after hearing everyone praise it. I like it, but I wish it would stop crashing all of the time..

Which is why I went back to Opera, it seems to run better than FF. And since I just discovered a spell-check add-on for it I'm once again a happy camper

I have been using Safari also. The only thing I found so far that I'm unhappy with is their automatic spell check. It doesn't do a very good job. Believe me, it gets used a lot!

MSN posted a link to a patch for IE just his morning, not sure it it will be a full-proof fix. I need to try another program myself, just lazy with MSN. |

Terry Wow, I'm real happy with the spell check in Safari, I wish that some of the other browsers had that feature. Of course I went to public school in Missouri so... |

Firefox has a built-in spell check function, works while you type (Like MS Office). As I mentioned earlier Opera doesn't come standard with it but it is simple to install, then when you right-click it is available in the pop-up menu. |

I'm using FF3 on Vista, no crashes. Plus it has inline spell check, so you don't have to press the spell check button for you lazy folks out there!!
I believe Opera 10 alpha has inline spell check as well. |
