Question

What's the best internet browser to use in terms of speed and security?

Answer 1

Internet Explorer is good im using it right now and it also depends on the strength of the connection. Tip: Dont use AOL I used to work on that its rubbish.

Answer 2

Anything but Firefox!

When one downloads Firefox, it comes complete with free membership in a cult religion.  You will be required to face the West and bow down and pray to your new god, Mozilla, at least 5 times a day.

Of course this "free" browser comes with a steep price. You will be pressured to become an evangelist for the "cause" by being endlessly encouraged to join the "Spread Firefox" propaganda campaign:

You will be required to constantly spam newsgroups and forums (Yahoo Answers included). To anyone that posts or asks any question about Internet Explorer, you will be required to reply that the only solution is to dump IE and use Firefox. You will annoy people with shouts of "Firefox has a built-in pop-up blocker...Firefox has a built-in pop-up blocker", despite the fact that Internet Explorer has had a pop-up-blocker ever since XP SP2...almost 4 years ago.

You see, the truth has never been important to Mozilla / Firefox. They have their own dangerous socialist / left-wing agenda.

You must understand that this religion, just like all the others, has its own devil, (Bill Gates), and its own h**l, (Redmond). From this day forward you shall devote your entire life to "saving" the world from Microsoft.

If, you become one of the chosen disciples of this cult, you will be allowed to help in the coding of new versions of Firefox. Of course you will not be paid for your efforts. Despite the fact that Mozilla Corporation had  2006 revenue of over over $70,000,000.00 USD:

Firefox prefers to brainwash its followers into toiling for the Mozilla Mother-church for free. Slave labor is always best. Firefox / Mozilla Corporation loves to cry poor-mouth. And the lemmings always follow.

Of course the hierarchy of the church, such as High-Priestess and corporate president, Mitchell Baker, ARE well compensated for their work:

Funny how that works, isn't it?

I am surprised that Baker hasn't taken to wearing her own version of the Papal Hat:

Perhaps one made out of flea-infested fox pelts! It would certainly help to hide that hideous hair-do of hers;

Firefox...the browser of choice of pimply-faced, male adolescent fanboys, who are badly in need of female companionship; and aging hippies with gray ponytails.

HA...;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)

Answer 3

Firefox 3.0 is king.

Opera/Safari are very close seconds.

Internet Explorer is just pure garbage.

Answer 4

I prefer Mozilla Firefox

Answer 5

"Anything but Firefox!"

You must be kidding. FF3 now has built in https verification on the address bar.  FF refuses to load most web pages that attempt drive-by downloads. FF also follows Web standards which IE does not. FF allows you to load add ons that stop JS, Flash and Java execution and only allow them t run with your explicit permission.

It is possible to be safe in IE if you are net savvy, but if you browse like most average joes that click on any link then it is best to use FF or a lesser known browser.

Answer 6

firefox 3 is the best

Answer 7

I agree, Firefox is #1 best - get the browser then get the add-ons.

Answer 8

More secure is less popular internet browsers hackers usually target all widely used browsers. Safari, Firefox is more secure. But you can make your browser more secure by changing the security level.
