Default Firefox or IE?

Internet Explorer - Microsoft leaves no doubt what their products are. If they made toilet paper it would be called Butt Wiper. Internet Explorer isn't a bad name, but it's not spectacular.

Firefox - On the other end of the spectrum, the name Firefox gives no clue to what it is. Could be a car? 80s video game? Lame comic book superhero? Flaming dish at a wild game restaurant? A browser would probably be your last guess. No matter, it is a much cooler name than the utilitarian Internet Explorer

Firefox is all you will ever need. IE is what you'll need if you want trojans/ viruses/spyware.

You could always use Safari. Idk how it is when on windows, but on my mac i pretty much use it all the time.

I'm sorry, but what's Internet Explorer? Is that like Netscape or something???


edit: I will admit I use IE just when I want to listen to some radio stations online because for some odd reason, the sound wont play on Firefox.. but that's it!

I think the only time a computer savy person will use IE is if they are on a public computer and firefox isnt available or they cannot instal anything. (work, school etc)

Why? That has to be preference.

Safari is better than firefox on mac. Then again, they are VERY similar in some aspects.

I find Firefox to be too much - I don't need everything it has in a browser. Any plugins it offers are also available for Safari. I also find Safari to be a heck of a lot prettier, and more importantly, faster. This is on a Mac, of course, on a PC, Firefox wins without a doubt.
