ps: What is the best browser in your opinions.

I haven't touched IE (except for some cross reference) for years. Using Firefox.

Have never had a problem with IE explorer...been over 3 years.  I don't really understand all the IE bashing I keep reading about.

Hi Broni.  So what is the most common problem with IE ??  Is it dependent on the sites you visit or is it not as quick to patch issues as Firefox?  Was told that they were getting better & quicker at fixing things lately.

Compare to any Mozilla product, IE has always been:
- less secure browser (IE7 got little bit better)

- late with patches
- behind with features (it took them several years to come up with tabs, for instance)
- if you browse through this board only, sometimes it has some issues, which are just un-solvable, short from Windows reinstall

..just to mention some major ones...
