“If you were looking at this in any browser but Microsoft Internet Explorer, it would look and run better and faster.” The Use A Better Browser campaign makes this assertion, and I tend to agree with them. Why, you may ask? I’ll let them explain:
Microsoft’s Internet Explorer may currently have the largest market share, but it has been stagnating for a while. There will be no new Internet Explorer version until Microsoft’s next operating system. It won’t be available for several years and you’ll need to pay for Windows to get it.
Meanwhile, other web browsers have been innovating and are becoming more and more popular. Today, these browsers run faster and look better than Internet Explorer.
By using a better browser your experience will be better. Plus, you will help to foster a competitive environment in which browser technology can continue to innovate and make everyone’s web experience more pleasant and exciting.

Although I use and highly recommend Mozilla and/or Mozilla Firebird, Safari, Opera and Konqueror are also cited as worthy alternatives to M$ Internet Explorer. I know I’ve been singing the praises of Mozilla for some time now, but it really is for good reason. Keep innovation alive and break the stagnant monopoly of M$ by trying one of these alternatives; you won’t regret it.
