Internet Explorer (IE) -- sometimes referred to as Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) -- is the most widely used World Wide Web browser. It comes with the Microsoft Windows operating system and can also be downloaded from Microsoft's Web site. The IE browser competes with an earlier browser, Netscape, now owned by AOL.

Windows explorer runs slower because there are multiple applications running in the back ground, this uses processor and memory, internet explorer runs mostly on ram  its a program unlike windows explorer that's the operating system.

Yes and No. It's actually Internet Explorer that controls your web page viewing and the version that came with Windows 98 is pretty old. I recommend you download IE 6 SP1 from Microsoft. \n\n"Internet Explorer 6 SP1, the latest version of Internet Explorer for users not running Windows XP, provides a flexible and reliable browsing experience with enhanced Web privacy features for all Windows users. This version includes a full installation of the Web browser and the most recent version of Outlook Express, the e-mail client that is included with Internet Explorer."\n\nClick the link below.

IE is a terrible browser.  It has massive security holes and doesn't have a lot of useful features found in other browsers like Mozilla Firefox or Opera.  \n\nThe only advantage it has is marketshare in that if a website is designed to work in it, most people will have no trouble using it (unless you own a Mac or run Linux).  \n\nThe two best free browsers are Opera and Mozilla Firefox.  (See www,Opera.com or www.getfirefox.com to get either).  Both have much better security, tabbed browsing, better password storage and generally load webpages faster.  Firefox is a memory hog, but is extremely customizable with extensions.  I for example, have little extra programs that I added on to it that check my yahoo email accound and my gmail account and alert me to new mail.  I can also unclose tabs, and block ads.  \n\nOpera is much more lightweight and is probably the fastest at loading webpages.  It isn't as customizable and has a much less market share.  But it is very easy to use and is a very nice browser, especially for the non-power user of the internets.  \n\nJust note that some webpages, notibly those that use ActiveX controls like windows update or Panda Active scan will not work in Firefox or Opera, although Firefox has an extension called IE Tab that will let you open an internet explorer window in a tab.

Hi,\n  A browser is an application which you use to navigate through the pages of the world wide web (Internet). If you are using Windows, then examples of browser applications are Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox etc., When you were posting this question, you were using a web browser to do so. All browsers have a adress bar at the top, where you can either type or paste addresses, to which you can navigate. I think this should answer your question!!

firefox.  it has many good plug ins and warns  you about risky sites which to my understanding internet explorer does not.  it also loads pages faster.  it is clean and efficient.  \n\nyes i do use my computer a lot and mozilla is awsome.

Internet Explorer is needed to operate windows.\nIt cannot be deleted. If you wanted to disable it go to start>allprograms>set program access and defaults then choose custom then uncheck enable access to this program.

Internet Explorer  6\nBecause Microsoft made both of them. So, both of them are compatible with each other.

It comes down to cost. Keep in mind this is always the corporate answer and to a certain extent, they aren't really lying, but with a majority of the eyeballs using some variant of IE, this is what they will choose to focus their resources. True, it would not cost a lot more to take advantage of say the Opera users and others. Within Firefox it looks good.
