The most popular IE replacement, by a huge margin, is Mozilla Firefox 1.5 http://www.mozillafirefoxinstall.com/ which is a very quick tabbed web browser that accepts a wide range of third party plugins. However, I personally prefer Opera 8.52. http://www.opera.com/ It has been around just about as long as IE, and is a much more feature rich browser. Opera is just as fast, if not faster, then Firefox. You don't have plugins but you don't really need them with Opera. Some of the features I prefer over Firefox are better tabs, the ability the remove a tab just by using your mouse to click on the x of the tab. The ability to quickly zoom ANY view, text or other wise... this is a big deal for me,... the "wand" for handling passwords... makes me feel like I have more control then just automatically putting it in as in Firefox or IE does. The reason that Firefox is so much more popular then Opera is because Opera use to cost 30 to 50 dollars, while Firefox has always been free. Around six months ago Opera became a free program so that is a non issue now. And Firefox is more accepted on web sites then Opera, although the only site that I have been rejected on with Opera has been the Staples site. There is also a IE type of browser called Maxthon http://www.maxthon.com/ which uses the IE interface but supports tabs, groups, and has lots of utilities including zoom view. It is free but accepts donations. This will feel like a super IE, although it loads independently of IE. If you really like IE then this is the way to go. Of course there are a few things I prefer in I.E. The ability to save a page to a single mht file. The ability to make a shortcut from a IE page to the desktop just by left clicking my mouse >>create desktop shortcut in IE. The fact the IE remembers what was in a input box, and you can use the up and down arrows to re-insert a previous selection. Opera considers this a security risk, and doesn't remember anything...even a Google search, nor does it allow you to make shortcut to a page on the desktop. And when I log into my banking and financial sites I still like to use IE because I never want the bank to tell me, after I had a problem, that they don't support Opera, Maxthon, or Firefox. As you can see I use all three browsers simultaneously, for different things.You can try any of them without effecting the other browsers, but you can only pick one as your default browser to load when you click on a link from a third party location... like your email. So feel free to download, and install them all.
