I think it is that much better, but it is also open-source, which I like technically (better response for bugs/security) and "religiously" (i pretty much hate M$).

I actually use mainly free/open-source software where I work, both on my desktop and on our servers.Â The only thing I haven't gotten away from yet is the Windows o/s (XP) and M$ Outlook (work requirements), but other than that, all my software is free :)

Try them both out and see which one you like best.

I use Firefox most of the time myself, but find that some sites look and/or function better with IE, so I use that from time to time also.

Some people like to talk about things like, pop-up blocking, security loopholes in IE, etc. as a reason to move over to Firefox. However, there are lots of free pop-up blockers that work farily well for IE, and Firefoxes built-in pop-up blocking is becoming less effective (although, it is still highly effective) as time goes on. I don't know a whole lot about how IE compares to Firefox in terms of security.

Allow me to recommend the "All-in-one Mouse Gestures" and "IEView" plugins along with "Forecast Fox"..
