What Browser?

Just as a straw poll, is anyone using anything other than Internet Explorer as their default browser?

Been using Opera for a number of years now - supports easy mouse movements to go back and forward plus many other extras. Having to use IE at moment owing to being in between systems. And so far prefer Opera.

Primarily use AOL's own browser at home, but it's not always very user-friendly so sometimes switch to Explorer through it.

Firefox has some vunerabilities in it see the attached article. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4532127.stm

Downloaded Firefox to see what it's like. Are there any particular advantages over IE for a normal user like me? (know it's not Hertford related but this seems as good a place to ask as any Admin).

It's faster, has tabbed browsing and lots of plugins. Much more "feature rich" as they say. IE hasn't been updated for yonks.

Upgrade to 1.0.4 - there are security "issues" in 1.0.3
