Because of some on-going online security concerns, some people are advocating using browsers other than Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, because of its ubiquity, IE has been repeatedly attacked by hackers who find some vulnerability or another to take advantage of.
I've been trying out an alternate browser in the last month or so. Called Firefox, it's one among a group of browsers available from the Mozilla organization (other browsers include Mozilla and Netscape).
Although some particular features don't seem to always work as seemlessly with Firefox as they did with Internet Explorer, my experience thus far with this new browser has been pretty good. One relatively unimportant but nice side-benefit is that people have put together various themes that change the standard look of Firefox and make the interface more lively and colorful.
If you're looking around for a browser to try, take a look at Firefox.
P.S. Oh, and the price is right.....it's free!
