overview

THE GOOD
Includes a pop-up blocker; takes advantage of built-in security within Windows XP SP2; selectively blocks ActiveX support.

THE BAD
Suffers from chronic security holes; no RSS reader; available only within Windows XP SP2; expensive technical support.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Unless your business has specific ActiveX technology needs, you are much more secure running Firefox than Internet Explorer.

    Excellent
    2.0/5
    Unless you have to use Internet Explorer for a web-based application, I would avoid it and try out something better such as Opera or Firefox.
