Is it easy?
Is it free?
If the answer to the above 2 questions is yes and it won't bugger anything up on my PC, where do I get it from?

Mozilla Firefox is an alternative browser to Micro$oft's Internet Explorer Freckledbird.
I use it sometimes when I visit doggy sites as I find it more secure than IE and it seems slightly faster. The best thing about it is the tabbed browsing facility where you can view more than one web page in a single window all separated by tabs.
You can get it from

Yes, you're the only one.

It's not the stigma it used to be.
Not quite anyway.

And one day, IF IF IF, Mozilla ever sort out their support for Cascading Style Sheets, to conform with the WWWForum specs, it might just get accepted as a serious contender for general usage. It also struggles to display transparencies properly too, so it poses designers with a major headache.
A lot of designers have had to revert back to a "lowest common denominator" to accommodate Mozilla (and its derivatives, Firefox and Netscape) which is a shame as it impedes advancement.
I agree that Mozilla etc provides extra security to the user for now, but that's only because with only 3-4% of global usage, it's not been worth the bad-boy's time to find a way to exploit it. Once Firefox gets into serious usage, just watch, it will have holes picked in it and it too will prove vulnerable. But that's just my opinion of course.

We use safari, on the Mac's. For most things anyway. Like Mozilla (A big green dinosaur type thing that troubles the Japanese) Safari has 'tabs' which is marv. It is quick and reliable, however, some sites just won't play on it. Tesco's does not like it, nor does Weight Watchers. For these, and similar, we use IE *spit,hiss*

Ouch! But advancement at what cost and who's advancement? If every major manufacturer adopted the same “Embrace and Explode” mission then a fine state we’d all be in.
For those of us old enough to still be able to remember that far back, you probably remember M$ "Individuality Expunger" is also derived from the same source as Mozilla... not even clever enough to invent their own - pah! (IMHO)
But that’s *my* last word on the browser thing – I don’t want to get into a browser flame-out here (elsewhere?). Each to their own (hmmm… where have i read that b4?).
Many of the free alternatives to IE can be useful because...
(a) All your shortcuts to your alternative favourites can be tucked away in your alternative browser. Because not many people know about these browsers if someone happens to get onto your PC, decide to be nosey, and go poking around on your Industrial Espionage favourites and history all they'll find are your links and visits to “Swindon Lumberjacks”, “ ” and “Stars on Sunday downhill racing”.
NOTE your alternative favs & history will *still* all be stored on your machine, just not in the same place as Intellect Expirer's.
(b) partyman rightly points out these alternative browsers are not as vulnerable to attacks by the spotty anorak brigade. And they may come under attack in the future just like everything else, but well if anyone knows when... answers (along with next weeks lottery numbers) on a postcard pls.

As regards the adoption of support of Cascading Style Sheets, the answer is the the advancement of every users internet experience. All web site designers try to keep file sizes down to a minimum and CSS helps in that respect. Ditching the benefits of CSS mean producing the cross-browser-compatible bloatware that MS often get accused of producing.

Ya Pays ya money applies if you get the full blown Opera browser, The Adware version (and I thought one of the benefits of moving away from IE was the avoidance of Adware) is there as a freebie though. THe Voyager browser isn't included in the list - see here - I quite like this one, but despite having 6 browsers' shortcuts on my desktop, I aways go back to the good ol' IE6 (XP version)
Oh, by the way, that link to makes at least 5 attempts to install spyware / adware onto your system, so go there with your shields up! :shock:

puts Firefox usage at around 18.8% and there has been one successful breach of Firefox's pop-up blocker, but that's one security breach compared to countless breaches big enough to drive a fleet of trucks through in IE.

it's because it can't run executables on your system, and doesn't support activeX. most of the security holes in IE are the same thing just repeated in different ways. also Mozilla based browsers are usually patched within hours, M$ release patches once a month or so "to make it easier for admins" nice plan
