See my user page for further information. I prefer Internet Explorer to Firefox. The reason being that i am more used to Internet Explorer than Firefox. While I haven't found tabbed browsing beneficial (I Alt-Tab with the best of mankind), I do for the most part like the improvements. Though there should be a way for the Home and refresh buttons to not be so out of the way (when viewing at a high resolution, that is). Maybe there is and I just haven't found it... well, if only because the ieSpell program only works with IE - and yes, I know that Firefox has a spell checker, but it's nowhere as good as ieSpell. I run IE and Norton Internet Security - I have no pop-ups (unless I specifically allow them from sites - such as EliseTalk so I get the PM messages) it catches most of the spam in my mailbox, checks for viruses, checks for secure connections, and more. Best thing is that it ends up being free after the rebates (you just have to watch for it to be on sale).
