Here is what disturbs me about MSIE vs FF:
MS is a for-profit business and sells ad space - how good is their ad blocker going to be?
The last couple of evil exploits have been using click-through ads.
I use FF at home and I have no ads (sorry csgal - I really will contribute soon <vbg>) -- except that I allow google ads because they actually keep them corralled where I know what they are. When I have to use ie at work, the ads just drive me crazy.

thats how things always are
e.g if someone wants to rob your house they will always find a way. Obviously a better lock and a fence might help, maybe even a dog but if someone is determined enough, they will find a way. Even the most impenetrable fortress always has a crack.

Yeah, but its a lot faster because the classic versions have great memory handling. I can open about 50 YouTube videos all on play and get 50k memory usage. Right now with only this Daniweb window open, Task Manager is reporting 8MB of memory usage from Maxthon.exe, bringing my total to 700MB of free memory from my 1GB of ram. In reality, the startup time for Maxthon is usually smaller than Opera 9's because Maxthon runs so efficiently. Also, Maxy's extremely customizable with just about everything. I have flat tabs with the active tab highlighted yellow. For my keyword search: g for google, w for wikipedia, d for download.com, d for The Free Dictionary, hd for Stage6, y for YouTube, t for thesaurus.com, get for downloadyoutubevideos.com, a for asking a Yahoo! Answers question, e for ebay, and n for newegg. This all results in ultra-fast web browsing. It even has a reopen last closed tab function like Firefox with Alt+Z. Just remember not to use Friendly Error Page cause it redirects to Greatsearchresults, and CTRL+N opens a new tab instead of CTRL+T. CTRL+T will do a scale effect like Expose, so you can see all your tabs in one page. Even more bragging, IE engine = compatiblity.
