[thelist] RE: switch from IE to Firefox?

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

	Has anyone here ever used any IE shells?  For example:

	I'm just curious because in all the browser holy wars, I've
never heard anyone else mention this bunch.

Since you seem to be spending quite a lot of time exploring the web I am
surprised you didn't already switch to Firefox.

The only warning that comes to mind: If you are among those believing in
the infallibility of Microsoft doing the best job anybody ever can do
then you might be in for a surprise ...

Seriously: download it, get a feel for it - and then check what
extensions you might want to enhance the browser even more for you needs
(my personal favourites there: Adblock, Web Developer, Mouse gestures,
... and a few more).

I never ever fire up Internet Explorer unless I absolutely have to. And
that's usually only when checking the layout for a page I am developing
- because unfortunately enough people still use that permanent security
hole that masquerades as a useful application (tm by a slashdot poster).
