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)

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.
