Thread Starter 
I realize it's been talked about many times but--- I am getting more and more fed up with IE. Do you guys and girls use an alternate browser and have any feedback,esp. negative? My IE home page was mysteriousely set to "about:blank" and NO Spyware removal can get rid of it! If I keep IE I may reinstall it to get rid of iy !!

Firefox.

Do a search on these forums and you'll probably save people some time by having to repeat it.

Or you could go with Opera, but you have to pay for it.

Mozilla is a full suite containing extras such as e-mail.

Firefox wins cause it's free

I've used both Firefox and Opera. I preferred opera. Firefox seemed a bit bloated and slower to me---exp. if you start adding all the plug-ins. However, it's the best choice between the two cause it's free.

I'm still using Opera though---and i didn't pay for it either.

I don't need any advanced features, so IE6 is just fine for me, cause all i really need is: Bookmarks, forward/back buttons, built in media player, HTTP, FTP. And IE6 has them all, and they all work great.

I've been meaning to ask you, is that a guy or gal in your pic? It looks like it has a moustache and breasticles. Very confusing

If its a pic of someone you know, I didn't type this post.

Ha, I'm sure you didn't type that post. If I were to wager a guess I'd say stuey edited an already existing post to pass the blame onto you.

It is definitely a girl, and yes I know her. That picture really doesn't do her justice. I keep meaning to chop up a better one to use.
