    Firefox always wins for me.. have several installed right now and use them all but always go back to FF :)

    If not Firefox then Chrome for sure.

  • I use Firefox, though I did use Netscape Navigator briefly after stopping my use of Internet Explorer (even with patches and updates it just wasn't that good).

    Yes Firefox is the way to go but ask yourself why is your IE freezing a lot?

    Just a possible software problem or something more serious?

    Maybe worth checking your system with antivirus/malware scans first.

    Noscript is overkill and will make browsing the web a headache, just go with Adblock and you're good to go
