Internet explorer is undoubtedly the most used and most popular browser..but have you tried Mozila Firefox or Opera ??? Try them out..they are equally safe and exciting and easy to use.. I use Firefox more often than Opera...

I am an Opera fan. The features , speed and security have bowled me over. Firefox is cool because of its extensions. Some more browsers I have used are K-meleon(almost as fast as Opera), Sea Monkey (for the old Netscape look), Flock (good for blogging) and Avast(very fast add-on of IE). Even though I think that Opera is the best, for those into extensions, Firefox is the browser of choice.

I absolutely recommend using alternative browsers for security purposes... The the amount of bad stuff aimed at IE is astounding! :( If you check out my Profile, you'll see a discussion about How Harvard's Law School is trying to do something about all the malware threats out there... Also if you would like to check out another option go to http://www.maxthon.com and check out their great version of IE... Happy and safe surfing to you! :)

In the past IE was the most popular browser, but I don't believe that is true anymore. If it still is, it is by a slim margin. I use Firefox because it is much more secure, faster, and I don't have problems with Java apps. that I had with IE. Most people that I've talked with are using Firefox or Opera. I have never tried Opera- what do you think of it?

Opera is a nice one..Quite brilliant as far as features and interface is concerned..Only one problem in opera is that some websites don't support Opera browser..but u can get rid of the problem by identifying the opera as internet explorer..U have a option to do so.. U can download the latest version from http://www.opera.com/download

I've used Opera for 5 years now, and I've accompanied the evolution of this wonderful browser. At first I left IE just because of security concerns, but now I couldn't even think of going back to it, Opera has too many features that I couldn't browse the web without.

Hi maverick_ind, I am currently using opera as my main browser. It is much faster when compared to other browsers. I like the overall speed performance of it. It has fast execution especially when returning back from previously visited pages. It is safe to use too. It has widgets like the add-ons of mozilla. Overall, I am so impressed and grateful with my opera browser. However, I also used mozilla and IE for sometime. Have a nice day and God speed!

may be!but i am using firefox !i begin to use this after i joined mylot!it is simply amazing!i think it is the best browser now available.it is free also easy.here is my review on this product ---easy to use and download plugins.easy to update product.unlike ie which require a genuine advantage checking! ---can be used as internet explorer by an extention called "ietab" so it is flexible ---allow tab browing(though opera and ie7 support tab browsing i like firefox for its simplicity) ---user friendly ---it is completely free! ---last but not least it has a feature of post data again when connection reset or want a refresh...so dont get irritated about typing again!

Yes u r rite,IE is the most used nd popular browser.Mozilla is equally good b'coz it has an option of tabs due to which u donot have to open different windows for opening different sites.talking abt opera browser it is the best browser while using internet on cell phone. Infact i also use IE but i use opera browser on my cell phone
