firefox. it has many good plug ins and warns you about risky sites which to my understanding internet explorer does not. it also loads pages faster. it is clean and efficient.

IE7. But if you want to get out of that very small circle of browsers, you should chose Opera.

Firefox by Mozilla by far is the better that IE7 or any IE. You can also download all the plugins and its virtually spyware proof. Thanks
