We use it here

It is smaller than IE and we think it is faster and less problematic than IE. You might try using both browsers for awhile.

When you go to open new sites with things like videos, flash, etc, it will ask that you install a plug-in now and then but after awhile, it will have added everything you need. One thing I have come across as a problem is the eagle website that will not open for me.

Unlike IE, I have not had any freeze-ups at all.

I like it very much. It lets you change to really cute "theme" designs too. Right now I have light green browser window with a kitty theme. My buttons for home, relaod, stop etc - are adorable cat icons. CUTE!!!

Hubby is trying to get us away from Microsoft and so uses a Linux operating system and Firefox (Thunderbird for E-mail).

Kim - you can always try it as it is completely free. Delete it if you don't like it. I still have both browsers and go back and forth as I am not as "sold" as hubby is
