I was wondering what's a good alternative to Internet Explorer? Mozilla or is there a better?
One word: Firefox.
It's 'universal' (I can use it on any OS I commonly have), and I can use free add-on Extensions to do things like block/replace ads on a webpage entirely ("adblock"), detect and block malicious (or crap) cross-site scripting attempts ("firekeeper"), and a shedload of other really nice-to-have things. When someone's crap scripting on a website crashes the browser, "Restore Session" is a godsend. The same crash on IE usually leaves you SOL.
To top all that off, it's a whole order of magnitude safer than Internet Explorer to use, because it's not all integrated into the core of Windows (meaning that it's nearly impossible to get bitten just by visiting a malicious webscript now).
