I used IE and saw no reason to use anything else until one day a problem arose on my computer (I can't recall exactly what right now) and I got a huge spyware problem...it was so bad that it would not let me download spyware programs like adaware! Everytime I tried to install them it closed it automatically and when I restarted my computer it deleted the install file! WEIRD! Also had pop up problems. So I resorted to Firefox and it singlehandedly solved all my problems and it has a great downloading system as well! So I'll go with Firefox!
You should have added Netscape too as a lot of people use that.

How could i have forgotten Netscape? can a mod add it please.
I really like the download system in Mozilla to it's one of the features that drew me to the program.
I regularly scan my computer with sptware removers, adaware included. But Microsoft have released a free spyware detector which picked up 79 files that adawar didn't. You guys should give it a try

Re:
A combination of FireFox/IE6. I like FireFox a lot, I'd recommend it to anyone.

I don't know how anyone can conciously use IE, it is so full of security holes that it's ridiculous. As soon as I accidently open IE I get about 5 popups, and about 20 new spyware in my computer.
Mozilla is just amazing, I never got a single pop-up since I have been using it, and the only spyware I get is from d/ling files from p2p programs.

I've never run into any links not working from the pop up blocker that I know of. and BTW I work at a ski resort right against the michigan border in Ontario. I make money for screaming at children (Snowboard instructing) and NEXT WEEK I GET TO DRESS UP AS A MASCOT AGAIN! W00T! I just hope lil girls don't attack me again. I was ambushed from behiend (I can't see in this giant dog thing anyways) by a 12 year old and then kicked in the ribs as I tried to stand and run. I wasn't allowed to make any noises at all because of the children.
