No problems that you're aware of - but once you're aware of them, you'll stop using IE [:p]

Safari! since i just picked up a mac mini (since my other box has a blown P/S for the time being. btw i'm having a hell of a time getting used to the mac keyboard shortcuts.. i miss ctrl- whatever [:p]

IE had its security holes, but i think firefox is getting exposed also. they now have 1.07. i remember when 1.02 or something came out and was replaced by 1.03 like the next day. (might be off on version nos) but i think that once a user level reaches a certain level, hackers will start to try to find security holes in the more popular browser, OS etc. i'm not diggin IE anymore tho. esp since that one security hole w/ banking sites that they just didnt' fix, or told anyone about..

It's not necessarily the security holes thats the problem - the problem with IE is activex and everything else that ties IE into the operating system.

IE was built around the windows OS's so it is very easy to someone to accidently download a malicious program - or even have it happen without knowing. I believe a lot of companies are starting to switch to firefox too.
