I suggest you give Opera a try! Very nice browser with some useful features. I do not like the banner they show tho!

I use Mozilla. It works great and is less prone to viruses (so is anything non-Microsoft).

Mozilla is great, definately give it a try.. go back to the main page here and search for it from the main canadian content thingy page.. I use it, it rocks

Go to Opera.com, definitely the best! Take a look at slimbrowser too, you might like that as well (no pop-ups!)

You can also try Firefox. Their homepage is at http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/. Go take a look, very clean and popular browser.

Mozilla is an open-source project. Also available for Linux, Windows XP/98/00.

My understanding of your question is you are bored of using IE. Opera is very good as well as Mozilla and Firefox. The other ones you see are only shells that sits on top of IE and gives it a different look such as tabs and so on. Why not stick with the norm. Microsoft is determined to win the browser war and they will looking at their history. I would stick with IE and I have no problems using it.

Why not support opensource initiatives? There's tons of browsers. People dont have to use IE, infact, Opera is gaining a lot of popularity.

IE is bloatware, it's rubbish. Filled with holes. They won't automatically win the browser war. We will always have alternatives. Though, I admit, I use Internet Explorer on my Windows box because it is just so tied in with the operating system -- it shouldnt be.

I f we go back to the Netscape era, we could see that MS killed them. I beg to differ with you regarding winning the war as it is a fact that they eventually win.

I also usse IE as part of Windows and I like the way it is integrated with Windows. However, everyone has a taste.

Opera, as I said, is great but not the main stream. Try to do some online banking with it. Most banks will not accept it as they do with IE. The point is Microsoft controls what the banks, institutions and so on use as an acceptable browser.
