I don't recommend Netscape because it's too big and clumsy nowadays. Opera is also going to the wrong direction in my opinion. I just like the simplicity of Firefox. The problem with IE is that it's part of the OS and you can't un-install it from Windows. Microsoft likes to embed programs to their OS. Several months ago the EU court fined MS for 500 000 000 and gave them 90 days to remove Media Player from Windows. I'm not sure if the same goes for IE as well, but I hope so. Of course MS complained about the decision and now the fight will take a few more years. "JAVA SUCKS!" LOL I agree... and I do know what Java is.
