In related news, rocketjam writes "According to Wired, the wide------ Internet Explorer security exploit last week and CERT's subsequent recommendation that IE users should consider switching to another browser has resulted in a large spike in downloads of the Mozilla Organization's Mozilla and Firefox web browsers."

<---- firefox user for about 3 months now, loves the built in pop up blocker and tabbed browsing

windows SP2 is suppose to take care of all the problems with windows and IE

Re:Dept. of Homeland Security Says to Stop Using IE
 

agreed ;D

Re:Dept. of Homeland Security Says to Stop Using IE
 

I've been using firefox since its inception, before they changed the name. I'm working up a case against using IE company wide at the moment. Tabbed browsing is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I wrote my own browser using the IE DLL's that allowed tabbed browsing and had a built in popup block as well as a bunch of other stuff, but this code is much better in terms of security so I dumped my IE hack and started using this and like it much better. It gets even better with each revision that comes out..

The pictures on the HMT tech project pages don't work in Mozilla, due to some stupid javascript.

Re:Dept. of Homeland Security Says to Stop Using IE

Re:Dept. of Homeland Security Says to Stop Using IE
 

I've been on firefox for a few months now as well. I agree the built in popup blocker is great. I haven't had any problems with the pictures in the tech section though. It is definitely a good product, highly recommend!
