    Firefox. It is just better in every way. It's faster, it's smaller, takes up less memory, has tabbed browsing, built in popup blocking, is standards compliant (obsessively so), skinnable, and is free.

    Check my sig :D

    dude...

    lets see...
    1. fixes released usually in 24 hours for major items, IE in 24 weeks.
    2. Tabbed browsing
    3. Native popup blocking
    4. Extensively scriptable/extensions..
    5. themable
    6. faster page loads.

    well thats a start.... as to why its better

    Firefox, for the reasons listed above.

    My only pet peeve about it is that every update needs to be installed seperately, and it leaves the prior version in my "Add/Remove Programs" list as a seperate program - yet it can't be removed seperately.

    Don't know about you but Firefox has always used more ram for me.

    I started using FireFox around the First of the year and now have it installed on 2 PC's and 2 LapTops.




    Do not make me use IE again. :usflag: :wave: :smokin:

    Honestly, I think that most of the issues fixed in SP2 were prevented, in many of our cases, by using Firefox instead of MSIE.

    you should just install right over the top of the previous version. Then use tweakui to remove the old one from your add/remove programs list...
