Search the net and find out.
Silverlight, it's a variant of IE made if you have many bugs with IE 7.

most popular doesn't mean the best. Most people, that are considered average users, do not even know there are alternatives. They just use windows default web browser. IE is the least secure browser out there, and Active X is a steaming pile of excrement when it comes to both security and performance. Active X is allowed access to windows kernel hooks, which is why it is so powerful when being exploited. Do you really want plug ins (or as MS calls it, active x controls) access to your OS's kernel hooks?
That is why IE is so easily exploited. You go to some website and it says, hey you need this active x component installed to fully view the site. The unsuspected user thinks oh, okay I will just click install. Then you have malware that has access to the OS's kernel hooks.
IE is crap, don't use it ever.
