One of the most common arguments I hear against switching from IE to firefox is "I use Avant, not IE," or "I don't use IE. I use [insert IE upgrade here]."
I just want to make people aware that not everything is as it seems, so you should read carefully. Buyer beware and all that. In fact, here are the first few lines from Avant Browser's website:
Have you ever tried surfing with a tabbed web browser?
Try Avant Browser, an upgrade to Internet Explorer. Avant Browser is a fast, stable, user-friendly, versatile multi-window browser. Now, Avant Browser is available in 34 languages.
Do you see what I see? An upgrade it Internet Explorer you say? What does that mean? Well, it means that you still have a very good reason to switch to Firefox.
The security holes you may have been trying to escape have followed you and, aside from a decent popup blocker, you are still very vulnerable.
Everybody, except Microsoft, is telling you to stop using IE, so what's the problem?
You don't have to use Firefox. There are many other alternatives. Try Apple's Safari or Opera. As long as you stop using IE, I don't care what you use.
If I'm this easy to get along with, can't you be? :)
