How many of you have .net framework installed?

But well, it also should be common standard to NOT use Internet Explorer, but nevertheless people keep using the viral explorer, though every once in a while there is another report on a giant security hole discovered...while alternatives like FF or Opera offer more in a more comfortable way with FAR less security problems

IE6 never takes up 95% of my CPU power and 500mbs of ram when I have three pages linking to basic forums like this, and all major versions of Firefox, 1, 2, 3 have at some point. I'll take safe browsing and function over the security that is playing craps with hoping firefox works.

Au contraire, for I have the exact opposite problem. Many times IE did consume a chilling amount of the RAM but upon switching to the glory of Firefox, LO! not once has the memory usage jumped beyond expected nor has there once been a catastrophic crash. Begone to IE, says I!

I wouldn't want FF to become dominant, as there would be no competition between the browsers, and no improvments would be made, rendering FF inferior. 66% would be good.

Personally I find Firefox (3.0.5) painfully slow, not really good looking (unpolished) and its UI is buggy on top of that (radio buttons and checkboxes). Fonts don't look as good as they could either.

Internet Explorer is a little faster but its UI layout makes it look like "hey we got a cool UI, ehrm... where does the old-style toolbar go?". But it's got actually pretty helpful XSLT error messages, is slightly faster and ... actually more secure (it is better at detecting malevolent sites), though.
