1. FireFox. Do not use safari! It is still pretty slow on Windows. FireFox Is faster than Internet Explorer. Lets you have more add ons. And is just better. ------------------- Safari is only good on Macintosh. Safari whoops FireFox and Opera. On Mac
2. Fire fox is very secure. There are other browsers such as Advent, Ice Weasel, Opera. You may want to try them out. I currently use Internet explorer, and Ive had no problems with it. So if your happy using Internet explorer, there isn't any major problem with it :) iDan.
3. Definatly stop using IE its probably the worst ever created... Safari is the best ive seen to date used to use firefox and there are many other versions Mozzila have created Safari is the best and quickest for certain things there is a chart created by apple on there download site which you can obtain the Safari download for free, which will tell you what is faster for what and then go for that depending on your needs and requirements. Safari is also not specifically made for MAC's and has been edited by Apples software team to work efficiently on PC's as well if you look at there downloads on the apple site there are 2 downloads available one for MAC one for PC
4. Personally, I use Firefox. I love this one due to simple to use, love the tabs thing instead of 20 open windows. I do realize that IE7 has tabs now but I had Firefox before that came into play. IE7 is my arch enemy. It is a virus seeker if you ask me. I would always get viruses with IE but now that I use Firefox I don't get my browser hijacked anymore and that has to be one of the most annoying vulnerabilities of IE. I've tried Netscape and found it too fussy. I guess Firefox is the best-- in my opinion, of course. Happy browsing! Shell
5. To tell you the truth it is what ever you like. People will tell you what they like but you have to fine one for yourself. Just try them all and see what you like.
6. I use firefox. There is also Camera Shy, a special browser that looks for a special type of encryption called steanography (that is, hiding a message within an image). There is also K-Meleon, very similar to firefox but more like a stripped down version.
7. I suggest you to use the "Netscape Navigator". Firefox can't show you a type of webpages that internet explorer can But with Netscape navigator that problem does not exist
