IE8 is pretty nice, much faster than IE7. I am a creature of habit. But you're right, I should install firefox. |

Do it!!! Firefox with AdBlockPlus and NoScript add-ons, and you'll never bother with IE ever again. I promise you. For E-mail, get Thunderbird. Both Firefox and Thunderbird are so light, so easy to use, so fast, and Firefox is so customizable... |

Ok, I will try to overcome my innate laziness and learn a new browser! Thanks for the tips Frank. |

Basically, ad-free and script-free browsing. No more of those annoying flashing banner ads or the ones that make noise, and you can shut off whole advertising frames from pages that you frequent. It makes for a much more quiet, streamlined, and focused browsing experience. It's like the difference between trying to read a book in the middle of a dorm party, versus reading the same book whilst sitting in a silent library.

I can't see the embedded videos on school computers, which are running IE. No problems on Firefox or Safari. |
