I have just downloaded it and been playing around with it for quite a while. My only regret...not downloading it sooner. It is so much quicker than IE and has many more useful features. For those that don't have it you can download here: http://www.mozilla.org/you can still keep IE as well so no worries there |

I use Avant mate, it's the mutts nuts. It's tabbed browsing is far better than Firefox.

Avant has the same security risks as IE as it is only a skin for IE but it has a built in pop up blocker and a shed load of features like history cleaner and tabbed browsing. Too many to go into here and I don't want to give them too much free advertising. |

just downloaded opera and it can over complicate things. If you want it without ad support you have to pay. If you get used to it, it could be better i spose...
I will stick with firefox as it is safer (security wise not chav wise) than avant (avant still uses IE)

I use firefox. People always say IE is shit but the only advantage I can see that Firefox has is tabbed browsing. (which is brill)

IE's pop-up blocker leaks quite a bit. Firefox's seems more stable. Tabbed browsing is obviously a great benefit. Firefox is faster (for me anyway). If you download extensions it does slow it down but you get more features
