See if you feel the same way after your PC is compromised and your bank account is emptied out.

Using IE these days is just not safe.

Firefox is nowhere near infallible. Many of the same vulnerabilities that affect MSIE also affect Firefox.

I've only had occasion to use IE about 3 times in the last two years. I use Mozilla, but am tempted to try Firefox.

I actually deleted IE from my computer at one point, until I found there were rare occasions when I needed it.

Maybe my preference for Mozilla comes from using Netscape in the early days. More likely, it comes from the fact that IE is total trash, in every way a browser can be measured. I'll never understand why, given the choices out there, why anyone would willingly use IE on a regular basis.

Yep, it took the 2nd instance of having to do a system restore that I finally gave in and gave up IE. IE is nothing but a spyware and malware magnet.
