wohoa IBM backs Firefox, like who gives a $hit if they do. IBM, pff...

Firefox has a lot of problems in terms of compatibility. Couldn't care less for it. Plus their main developer was pissed and said the company sucks just a few months ago, mentioning how staff are totally uninterested in fixing known big bugs with Firefox.

Having used Firefox on Solaris, because Solaris sucks with NEtscape, I saw that Firefox.. just doesn't cut it for the diversity of webpages out there. Too many incompatiblies, especially with versions of PHP.

Firefox is for the MS whiners in my opinion. Everyone I know who uses firefox, disses MS all the time. Funny, since IE runs 100% of the pages out there, java, asp, php, what have you..

Firefox also has exploits, but with such a small userbase, good luck identifying em until they are fully being abused. LOL! I rather use a browser backed by a big company with lots of money, not some cheap ass company who bickers amongst themselves and ignores potentially big problems.

IE, has millions and millions of users and because of that it's probably the best browser out there quality wise. Don't listen to your buddies saying IE gets hacked etc, ALL browsers get hacked. Ask em for an example of an IE hack right off the top when they say it, watch them step back or change subject, because all they are doing is speculating on what all the other anti-MS peeps say. Most of em have zero clue what an exploit is.

Using firefox or not you will get spyware. The solution no matter the browser is the same.
