Why, you may ask?  I&rsquo;ll let them explain:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Microsoft&rsquo;s Internet Explorer may currently have the largest market share, but it has been stagnating for a while. There will be no new Internet Explorer version until Microsoft&rsquo;s next operating system. It won&rsquo;t be available for several years and you&rsquo;ll need to pay for Windows to get it.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, other web browsers have been innovating and are becoming more and more popular. Today, these browsers run faster and look better than Internet Explorer.<\/p>\n<p>By using a better browser your experience will be better. Plus, you will help to foster a competitive environment in which browser technology can continue to innovate and make everyone&rsquo;s web experience more pleasant and exciting.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tbray.org\/ongoing\/When\/200x\/2003\/07\/17\/BrowserDream\" target=\"_blank\">Tim Bray&rsquo;s musings<\/a> on the subject of browsers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Although I use and highly recommend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mozilla<\/a> and\/or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/projects\/firebird\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mozilla Firebird<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/safari\/\" target=\"_blank\">Safari<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opera.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Opera<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.konqueror.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Konqueror<\/a> are also cited as worthy alternatives to M$ Internet Explorer.   I know I&rsquo;ve been singing the praises of Mozilla for some time now, but it really is for good reason.
