If you are concerned about your privacy and safety over net, don’t use Explorer at any cost. Of course, it is the most popular web-browser, but it’s just because of Micro$oft’s dirty marketing tactics. If you are a user of Windows, I’d suggest you to download the latest version of Opera or Mozilla
and then see what a browser should behave. The biggest problem with IE is, it doesn’t seem to care about the preferences of user anymore. Cookies are accepted at it’s will, data is sent in whatever format it is, tries to remember
the passwords etc etc. Sometimes with XP, IE takes upto 80% of the system resources and no other program ever responds. It
is pathetic. You may wonder what browser I’m using while typing this. Well, I’m using Mozilla 5.0, the mother of all browsers and undoubtedly, the best.
