After the constant discoveries of holes and Microsoft's refusal to admit there are holes in IE, I ask: Why do people keep using Internet Explorer? I don't get it.

Yup, anyone can pretty much spoof a file type, let you think its a .pdf .html or whatever when it's actually a .exe and boom you got a nice chance for viruses to get in. GO IE!!

Stop using that crap browser and save me some time wasted on useless tech-support calls!

Mozilla is unaffected. It knows how to open files properly.

That's because it is.

Either way, Mozilla is a lot easier to use anyhow. The inbuilt google search bar (Much smaller than the official google bar), the tabled browsing, the popup blocker, the list just goes on.

Basically, i know fuck all about alternative browsers, whether every site will load with them, are they free, are they worth switching to etc

someone help me

isn't IE the fastest browser since it's integrated into XP?
