GeckoandFly are not a big fan of Internet Explorer. It is advisable to switch to a different browser such as Chrome or Firefox, Opera is still not quite to my liking, Safari on the other hand is not as fast as it claims to be. I guess there won’t be much of a difference if you have a pretty fast broadband connection. Security could be one of the main priorities. Go for Firefox.
