Personally, I prefer neither browser. There are both very good quality but opinions will vary according to person. Your best bet would be to try both browsers out and formulate your own opinion as to which one you like best. Good luck and God bless.

i have to disagre with those above.
it does have problems(very few).
about how good it is compared with others:
its made by the richiest company in the world, they spend thousands of hourst making it to be as secure adn compatible with as many things as possible and have hundreds of programmer making it, adn its not! open source(anyone can change it).
others like firefox, offer pluging supposrt for things(anyone can make them) serious lack of security and have very few programmers as well as company power bhind it. its faster than the iexplorer but this is due to lack of security adn many other benifits the iexplorer.
i dont realy car for Microsoft that much, but based on the facts adn undestanding of how software is produced(open source fire fox and others) i would choose MS everytime. based soly on the fact there a well known respectable company.
ask your self this, who makes iexplorer, and who makes fire fox.
go for the one that you easily know the manufacture. (MS)!!!
who cares if it supports large companys taking the little mans job, your getting a much better product for your cash(metaphore).

the biggest distinction is Firefox has a lots bigger secure practices score. once you install Firefox, it's going to ask you in case you desire to import something out of your internet Explorer, in case you do, then all your favorites etc would be transferred so which you will no longer lose something. i could relatively propose it

maybe in the future it might be but now it is not, since this is new coming technology and it is still in the debugging phace so websites look " broken" in I.E7
