I fix computers for a living (for 10 years) and 75% of the problems that I see with computers are because of the use of IE. BHO's, viruses, spyware and the list goes on. All the browsers have there downside, but the use of IE can be a nightmare for some and has the potential to be a nightmare for anyone that uses it.

I also fix computers for a living, both in a corporate environment and private spare time jobs and i have to disagree that IE has the potential to be a nightmare. IE is a good browser and like many on this forum and i have never had a problem with it, the main problem comes from lack of education or understanding on the users part.

eg. you MUST download the XXX toolbar to continue

User: OK just show me the web page.

If you fix computers for a living (NOT directly pointed at you, but anyone who claims to be a techie), how about educating them (and i don't just mean install an alternative browser) explain to them the risks that exist on the internet, configure IE for them to lessen the risk etc the list goes on and on with what you could do to help users with the tools that they have, not neccesarily what other tools are available. A lot of my users are extremely grateful when shown what they were doing wrong and know how to prevent this in the future, not just having their machines fixed and billed, A good antivirus and firewall go a long way!!

and thats just IMHO.

must hate yourself then.

to flat-out catagorise a browser as "the best" without offering any comparison is fanboyish.

I'm using Firefox right now. When IE has tabs I will go back to it. This is the only reason I'm using Firefox.
