Well it depends on what you mean to replace internet explorer :D, because you can use MAXTHON Browser, as an addon for Internet Explorer, it is a really cool addon because you can have these new options without installing a huge browser like opera or firefox:
Tabbed Browsing Interface
Maxthon Browser's powerful tabbed interface will give you the best browsing experience without taking your taskbar space away. All the web pages are arranged inside Maxthon Browser's main window. Multiple web pages are indicated by tabs for easy navigation.
Show/Hide Image
Mouse Gestures
Command your browser just with your mouse! Mouse Gestures are another revolutionary invention among the browsers. With 'Mouse Gestures' enabled, you can use your mouse to command Maxthon easily. And Some people say that it feels like playing KongFu with their mouse.
Show/Hide Image The ability of avoid the loading of images, sounds, flash movies and videos.
Super Drag&Drop
Maxthon Browser introduces another revolutionary technology to speed up your browsing - the 'Super Drag&Drop'. With 'Super Drag&Drop' enabled, you can open new links by simply dragging and dropping the link on the page. You can also drag&drop to search selected words with the default search engine or open a link in new tab or save the selected content when CTRL is held down.
Favorites Bar
Maxthon Browser provides a customizable favorites Bar for better access to your "Links" or favorites from other folders. You can open all favorites inside a folder. You also have the option to set favorites as "Most Favorites" in the favorites side bar and open them when Maxthon Browser starts. Even more options are available from the right click menu.
Ad Hunter
Popup ads, Flash ads, Floating ads, Image ads... Get enough with all these annoying ads? Here is the solution: AD Hunter. AD Hunter consists of several neat functions to block all kind of ads. You can use the "Auto Filter" to block popup ads or setup a "Filter List" for more accurate and customized blocking.
IE Extension Support
Can the Google Bar and other IE Toolbar be installed and used in third party browsers besides IE? Even Google will tell you NO, but we can say YES. In fact, not only the Google Bar is supported. Maxthon Browser can also support a lot of other IE plugins and toolbars like FlashGet Bar, etc.
External Utility Bar
With Maxthon Browser, you don't have to start other programs by switching away. Just add them to the Utility Bar and launch them by a single click. You could even set them to start and shut down with Maxthon Browser automatically.
Privacy Protection
We care about your privacy. With Maxthon Browser, you can erase all your browsing information easily and even automatically. You can clear your private information such as the browsing history, cookies, cache...etc with a single click. Further more, you can even setup Maxthon Browser to clear all your browsing information automatically when it closes.
Skins
Maxthon Browser supports flexible skins to change the look of the browser window. With skins you can change the icons, colors and backgrounds of Maxthon Browser. If you want, you can also disable them to enable Windows native skinning. There are already 300+ skins created for Maxthon Browser and more are coming. Be sure to visit the Skins site to find out how beautiful Maxthon Browser could be.
Plugins
You can further enhance the functionalities of Maxthon Browser with plugins. Besides the IE plugins, Maxthon Browser supports its own even more powerful sidebar and toolbar plugins. There are already 400+ plugins created for Maxthon Browser and more are coming. Be sure to visit the Plugins site to add even more features to Maxthon Browser.
Compatibility & Low on Resources
Maxthon Browser has full IE compatibility which means you will still have all you have in IE. Maxthon Browser uses very few resources, resulting in an average of 65% less RAM usage compares to IE when having the same large number of pages open.
More...
There are even more features that Maxthon Browser can provide you, such as, Page Zooming, Simple Collector, Web Services, Password protecting Tabs, URL Aliases and many others. All of them working efficiently while you surf the Internet with Maxthon Browser.
OPERA And firefox includes almost the same features than maxthon but they are kinda heavy to load(in my computer firefox starts in about 30 seconds, maxthon starts in 2 seconds), and maxthon is WINDOWS ONLY :D so its an exclusive, also you can have a lot of plugins, more skins that you can use to customize it, and more stuffs you can add thru its sidebar interface (like having all messengers in one inside your webbrowser, play classic games, using imageshack in one click etc.)
TOTALLY RECOMMENDED By the way i have installed maxthon firefox and opera in my pc, so i use sometimes opera and sometimes firefox next to my maxthon browser :D I recommend the 3 but especially recommend MAXTHON :D

Firefox ( http://www.getfirefox.com ) is considered the best (or at least most popular) alternate to Internet Explorer. Most people like it for it's clean interface & the ability to expand the browser through add-ons.
Alternate browsers to try would be:
* Mozilla -- http://www.mozilla.org/products/mozilla1.x/ -- An all-in-one Internet suite (browser, e-mail, IRC, ect.), but it's now consider outdated.
* Mozilla Seamonkey -- http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/ -- The NEW all-in-one Internet suite (browser, e-mail, IRC, ect.) from Mozilla.
* Netscape -- http://browser.netscape.com/ns8/ -- The grandfather of internet browsers.
* Opera -- http://www.opera.com/ -- Another relatively old (but stable) browser that's commonly used in mobile devices & as well as the Nintendo DS & the upcoming Wii
Try out one of these alternatives to see which one you like as something that is popular may not fit your style.

Mozilla Firefox... for the reason that it has many many fewer security problems.
