Internet Explorer or Firefox?

  • Definitely Firefox with the right extensions. I wouldn't use IE. If you have no option but IE, IETab 2 for FF will add IE functionality to FF.

    For security
    noscript
    requestpolicy
    alertcheck

    Other useful extensions
    webmail notifier
    tabmix plus or other tab extension
    xmarks
    lazarus form recovery which is essential if you use forums a lot.
    keefox with keepass password manager
    session manager
    greasemonkey

    IETab 2
  • Been using Mozilla Firefox for years now ahead of IE but amazingly enough there are STILL a few badly designed websites out there that do not function correctly in Mozilla and I have to use IE to get them to work. But as someone said you can have them both on your PC and use IE only when necessary!

    Or use IETab 2 and have all the functionality of FF but with IE's website compatibility and security issues while using it ;)
  • thank you all - I think I'll load up FF as my main browser but keep IE as a backup
