I'll skip the flamewar and tell you to try Mozilla Firefox, will probably like it better than IE

EDIT: Ah, but he said Foxfire, and you said Firefox, therefore you did hear the correct name somewhere! :p

Ah, well, try it, and don't doublepost that much it's giving me a headache

Just out of curiosity, what does IE8 offer that is better than previous versions (Not expecting much from usual Microsoft stuff)

Firefox 3... I only keep IE around to do some of the windows updates from the MS site. I've had FAR fewer problems with malicious ActiveX files since switching to Firefox...

But wait theres more. Opera is also nice. I use All 3 in fact, IE7, Opera 9.2 and FF3 .

I rate them in this order:

1. Opera (way faster than FF3 well for me anyways)
2. FF3
3. IE
