By accident, well more on the advice of a Blueyonder techy, I found and downloaded Firefox to trial as my new web browser. Reviews for it are good too.
Apparently Firefox is less susceptible to adware and spyware, most of which is written to target the more popular Internet Explorer. Certainly early signs are that Firefox is significantly faster at loading pages (posting to Blogger has never been so quick!) and it also has a nifty tab design which means it can open a number of pages at the same time. Great for me if you look at the same few web pages each day!
I’m already hooked and thinking I may have used IE for the last time.

ive not tried firefox, but as a tru emergent person I use a mac!! and so have safari, which i love the pop up blocker actually works rather that IE in my office on an XP os which just pops up blank windows!!
I recommend you keep Mozilla Firefox! Try this extension to help block ads… (SO GOOD!!)… https://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&id=10 I love firefox, and I have less spyware and malware since. Less popups, and all around faster and more secure. To make your Firefox Optimized, read this, I wrote it 😉 forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?t=135522 And my blog, dygital.blogspot.com
