# You can download loads of different themes for firefox.
It's generally more secure. Not 100%, but better than IE.

Well, there are less exploits for it, though that may be because IE is still in a majority

# Firefox
doesn't use ActiveX, which is the main thing that makes IE so insecure.

# Fine
but then Flash and all the other add-ons stop working, because that's how IE handles plugins. So it kind of defeats the object of using the browser.

# HA HA HA
Yep. Face it, IE is fucked security-wise, and if you want to use it securely it becomes a full-time worry and a constant hassle. Surely it's better just to use a secure browser? Just my opinion.

# I am sold on Firefox
Thunderbird doesn't seem worth it though tbh.

If you don't like the way FF looks take a peek at this: homepage.ntlworld.com/fenrisuk/images/ScreenShot1.jpg you can customise it quite nicely.

Tabbed web browsing by itself makes it worthwhile, takes a little while to tweak FF how you want it but def worth the switch and a lot more secure.

# Gah
fuck off :P

I actually withdrew my listing there last week not that you fuckers will believe me.

In my defense I went out with a few people that I met on there and they were really cool, especially compared to the psychos I managed to pick up in real life around the same time.

# Aye
it's probably better than shouting drunkenly into a girl's ear in a nightclub.

One of the most (conventionally) attractive girls I have ever been out I met on there. Unfortunately while she was a lovely lass she wasn't the sharpest tool in the box and drank lambrini so I had to do the honourable thing :/
