Need comments on replacement browser for IE I've decided to stop using Internet Explorer as my primary browser. I would like to here any recommendations for another browser to use, both good & bad, negative & positive. The only other one I've used is Netscape so that is my first choice unless someone has a better option or knows of some reasons not to use it.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Mozilla firefox is the fastest and best: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
Netscape is ofcourse based on the Mozilla engine.

The word "best" is always subjective, especially when it relates to
"which is the best operating system/computer/program/etc."-types of questions. The answer is that there is no definitive best program. Different users will have had different experiences with the browsers we've mentioned, and will base their recommendations on those experiences.
The browsers we've suggested are all free to download, so try them all and see which one you like the best. Also keep in mind that these browsers evolve and improve over time, so what might have been considered the "best" browser 6 months ago might not be considered to be so today.

I've heard Opera has problems with java scripts, do you know if this is true or not?

I haven't heard that, but Opera places a banner ad on it's free version, so Mozilla has to be the best! 
I do actually use Opera for testing purposes (being a web developer) as it has all manner of special tools for viewing sites without stylesheets, emulating a text browser, emulating small screen formats etc. But I use Firefox for my everyday forum browsing.

Hi dlh6213. One year ago you decided to give the browser, Opera, a try. If you did I would love to hear your comments. Do you fel it is a good second browser to have?

Actually, I decided to try Firefox 
And I can say that I'm satisfied enough with it that I haven't tried any others and I use it most of the time now.
For me, it's not faster as others have claimed, it's actually a bit slower if anything. But I get far fewer popups.
Both Firefox and IE have their advantages and disadvantages, so I can't really say one is better then the other based purely on 'feel.' But for safer browsing, Firefox is the better choice of the two, in my opinion.
