With both the alternative browsers you can configure them to be an exact clone of IE in both appearance and function but still take advantage of the better security.

Um so no point in any other browser if the correct security is in place.

Agreed - but that's a helluva big 'if.' Plus you would still lose out on the enhanced functions but if you don't like those then that would not be a consideration for you.

What is enhanced for some isnt for everyone though... so again its personal
choice, and how many add-onns and extensions and themes you want.

Oh and then Memory use is higher with Fire Fox,

Plus the Mozlilla organisation (Firefox, Mozilla, Thunderbird) tend to get security fixes out MUCH quicker than Micro$oft. So if a security hole is found you will get protected quicker using one of these than with Mr. Gates's products
