Its both.

No, it's not.

Just as "Microsoft" is not a browser and "Internet Explorer" is.

Not to fight, but it depends on the perspective of the OP and what he is talking about. While technically you are correct, the point was to try to get the OP to clarify his question to get better help. If he originally worded it as... I am looking for a good web browser to use besides MS. I would like to get away from the censored and filtered searches of MS. Can anyone help?... the question would be the same, is he talking about IE, Bing, etc.
