No Way IE is a competitor to Firefox or Opera... IE is widely used and has poor security features.. the biggest one is that it's integration to Windows shell which makes it easier for hackers to install trojans/spyware/malware stuff into the remote system thru IE.and.. to choose the best browser.. I choose Opera.. but not Firefox.. Want the reason? Here it is...Firefox got the hype bcos it's a direct descendent of the popular good old Netscape and now that it's Opensource. No doubt that firefox enhances internet browsing exprerince.. but when we compare it with opera.. it falls behind.. opera has amazing features like Dynamic Notes, Powerful Bookmark Manager, Inbuilt IRC and Chat Client Shell, Inbuilt Pop3 retreival System, Session Saving Mechanism, Powerful Tabbed browsing and has got a SECURE SHELL. The download Management system in opera is far better than Mozilla.. there are many many other reasons to.. one more important thing is the CACHE.. No other browser's cache mechanism works as better as Opera.. My Rating:IE - 0/10Mozilla - 4/10Opera - 8/10 other browsers.. I don't think they stand in the race..
