FireFox rox the sox offa IE. O, it has tabs as well. The reason i use FF over IE is because all i need to do is open IE and BOOM! spyware. i never get it with FF. Popups galore with IE, none with FF. And FF has themes and extensions wich rok. FireFox 4ever!!!!

There are more add-ons (extensions) for IE then there are for FF, and there are many websites that FF cant open (only IE, and sometimes netscape can open them). If you get SP2, IE has a built in pop-up blocker, and asks about installing files and running ActiveX. I have never gotten spyware from IE just by opening it, only thing i do like about the other browsers over IE is tabbed browsing and less people trying to hack into your account. Although FF has had some major security holes. I stick with IE and opera for now.

Many claim FF is faster, not a chance.

If you tweak Firefox, it makes a big difference.

Yes it does. Or at least I find it to be. Many websites, not all, load faster for me using firefox.
