My Internet Explorer is totally dying out on me, so I was wondering which browser was really good to use. I heard Moz was pretty good, but I haven't really tried it out much.

Mozilla is open-source, while Opera is ad-supported freeware (or you can register to make the ads go away).

Opera. There is only one banner, and since it's right next to the menu keys, it's not annoying. Opera allows the cool many windows in one thing, good favorite tabbing, a bunch of searches right off the front of it, and a bunch of other stuff.

Opera: Add supported freeware. Tabbed browsing only (last time I used it, this has probably changed). Blocks all popups including requested ones (again, probably changed).
Mozilla: Open source, based on Netscape code. Can use tabs, but not required. Blocks unrequested popups (and requested if you want). Has built in components for E-mail, IRC, and a web page creator.
Mozilla-Firebird: Based off mozilla but designed to be lighter-weight and faster. Only the browser component. Has a seperate field for searches (next to the page field).

If you read his post you will see that he is having problems with IE and thats why he asked for recommendations for other browsers.
It is made by Microsoft, and we all know that Microsoft is the driving force behind nuclear proliferation. Hence why everyone uses Linux or MAC OS nowadays. I knew this "Windows" was just a fad that would vanish as quickly as it appeared.

So, Opera is supposedly to the pwn. If you don't mind banners.
What do you mean?
If it doesn't work right anymore, you can you reinstall it, and at the same time upgrade to the latest version.

There's a free version.
