I like Slimbrowser, it runs on the same engine as IE, but I Like it alot better , it adds some different controls and a decent pop-up blocker, it's also free
Also Mozilla, I believe the latest is Firefox, I'm sure you'll get a few people telling you how great it is, I haven't really used it much
That is also free

Mechanix2Go is correct....
FireFox doesn't require IE to be installed (like some others) and the integrated ad and pop-up blocker alone have a lot of people ditching IE altogether...

I also read good reviews about FireFox Mozilla and installed it. My concern is Windows Updates since these can't run from Mozilla. How do you approach this task with a different browser, if you want your O/S, drivers, etc. identified and updated "in a bundle" as is done by Windows Update in IE?
