Firefox pretty much works, but it's not my favorite browser. Win IE just plain sucks eggs. I only use IE on a computer belonging to someone else. It just isn't welcome in my house. I use Firefox quite often, as it is included as the standard browser on so many operating systems. Konquerer rates as a very worthy browser/file manager for Linux users, but Opera is by far my all time favorite browser.
Opera is available for FREE, and for every major OS. The latest version is simply the best browser (overall) on the planet. Even among my Win 2k and Win XP stalwart friends, once they were introduced to Opera, and spent a few passes on the Opera website tutorials, they couldn't get far enough away from IE to be comfortable on their old PC's.
Firefox is pretty much OK, no matter what the IE crowd has to say about it, especially compared to IE. Using IE might be compared to swimming in sewage (you never know what you might catch), and no matter how hardcore a Microsoft fan you might be, there is no excuse for such an old browser to be so vulnerable to outside attack for so many years. IE is simply trash.
Opera is the gilded lilly of the browser community today. They built their market from scratch, and now offer their product for free. Even if Bill Gates is your personal sugar daddy, you should try Opera. It's simply the best browser on Earth.
You can find it at
www.opera.com or google for it.
