I have tried all of them except for firefox and each one had its own quirks where it didn't work good hear or there. the only one I have found that is good all round I am sorry to say is IE.

I tried out Firefox for a week and didn't care for it.
Maybe its because im so used to the features in IE..

I use Firefox because I heard Internet Explorer has a lot of security vulnerabilities.

IE seems to have more security vulnerabilities, because more people actively go out and search for them. Without a doubt, IE is the single biggest browser used all over the world (>90%)... so its only natural that more security flaws are found within the browser. I'm sure if firefox was used by the same proportion of people, a lot more security flaws would probably be found.

That said, I'm using firefox right now, because less people are looking for security flaws within it

I use Avant. It's like an upgraded version of IE. Lot faster, and so far no problems. Here's a link for the download and more info.

For those that like IE, give it a try and you won't want to go back to plain IE.

never heard of secure ie.. im sure i should have heard of it considering i build sites for a living.

i used or tested almost every browser ever made over the years for work. the first browser i ever used was mosaic and by far the best ive ever used in 12 years ive been on the web is firefox.
