Grojlach - I have to say, IE is the pits of a browser. Microsoft haven't bothered to upgrade it in any meaningful way for the last four years whilst all its competitors have made leaps and bounds forward in technology. I'm an Opera man myself, Firefox always seemed inferior to me, but either is vastly superior to Internet Explorer. You'll return to IE on somebody elses computer and feel so constricted...
And Opera and Firefox are more secure because they take conscious decisions to keep it that way - especially not using ActiveX which is a favourite way to exploit IE. It's just a fact of life I'm afraid....there are security holes that are simply indefinitely not fixed in Internet Explorer. In Opera, when a (rare) security hole is discovered, a fix is up within 24 hours and I understand that the Firefox community usually respond in a similar time-frame. The entire attitude of the Opera and Firefox communities is completely different to Microsoft with regards to security.
And happy first birthday Firefox! [img]graemlins/happybirthday.gif[/img]
