Giving Mozilla a Try
I recently followed the herd and switched to Mozilla Firefox as my primary browser. I have used IE for years and have been satisfied with it. However, I ended up having to install the Google Toolbar to get rid of the pop-ups (and some would still sneak through sometimes). I've also been concerned with the security problems with IE. Finally, after using Safari on my iBook, I've become fond of tabbed browsing, and wanted to use a tabbed browser on my PC as well. Another thing I like about Firefox is that it has a built-in toolbar area to search Google, Dictionary.com, the Urban Dictionary and many other sites of your choosing. No more adding toolbars.
I'm also giving the Mozilla mail client, Thunderbird, a try. I like it better than Outlook in many ways. One thing I like is how each mail account has its own set of folders and its own inbox. The only problem I have is that when I imported my saved email from Outlook, the time stamps on any messages I sent are six hours off. They seem to be going by GMT instead of Central time. I've looked for a solution to this problem but have had no luck so far. It's not a huge deal, but it's kind of annoying.
BTW, if you use Firefox and Movable Type, you will need to add this to your MT install if you want to get your editing buttons back.

I love Firefox! I left IE behind a long time ago
Mozilla goes hard. IE just hasn't kept up
