For me it’s two things. First, a visceral dislike of anything related to Microsoft. I was married for many years to one of the smartest guys who ever graduated from MIT—and that’s saying something. After listening to him talk about Microsoft with dripping, ***dripping*** disdain, I have done what I can not to rely on their products.

Secondly, I have a friend who is extremely tech savvy. Some years ago he raved to me about Firefox, and offered to install it on my computer. I jumped at the chance, and have loved it ever since. It’s just a very good browser, but I can’t compare it to IE because I have never used it.

Correction. I did use IE twice at the public library. It seemed clutzy and irritating, but then, I’m used to Firefox.

You might give Chrome a try. It seems that they have frozen Firefox and are doing all new development on Chrome. I like the way bookmarks are organized better and the use of space seems cleaner.
