Ive never had any problems with IE that I havent caused for years, so thats why I stick with it.
I have pop up blockers, and get them constantly (microsoft installed spyware in IE) I have ghostsurf, and it shows when it's trying to send certain info, and blocks it.I get no popups on firefox, and tab browsing is so much better (plus adding top favorites to teh taskbar makes life easier)

what kind of spyware, and what kind of information could it be sending thats so valuble? I dont remember entering my address, any credit card numbers, or hell anything valuble into any computer file on my computer. Ive never seemed to get any fraudulent feedback from IE either, and in the case it was that serious of 'spyware', I think legal action would have been taken against it.

it has a tracker much like what gator installed from what I have noticed, it tries to send microsoft a list with all your cookies,they have a dll for a program that detects what programs you have and use on your computer and sends it to a database (it only works if the software is installed, but it gets installed with some seemingly normal stuff)
