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

Firefox is the best browser around at the moment. IE is very spyware ridden where as firefox is amazing against spyware.\n\nNot only that but prefer how firefox functions and what you can do with it, for example, dragging and dropping websites into a toolbar as shortcuts.

Its time to get out of the box and try alternate browsers. I recommend Opera.\n\nWell, MS did a polishing job to IE7 but could not make it anywhere near Opera or firefox. Yahoo and other selling it with corporate interest. it times to reject such things. Its your web and its your choice which browser you use. Say hello to viewable with anybroswer campaign as well. http://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/index.html\n\nThose days must end when you make a site with active-X which only IE can open because it is copyrighted IE only feature.\nLets reject these and embrace alternate browsers.

Internet Explorer is a horrible browser. I suggest Firefox (http://mozilla.com/firefox). It's faster and safer. Plus there is tabbed browsing and a convenient search bar. Plus it's fully skinable and there are entension you can install and you won't have this ActiveX problem (I know cause I had the same problem). It's a 100% better browser

At present, Mozilla Firefox wins the race.\nVersion 1.5 introduces several new features, including an improved software update system, a new option to clear private browsing data, drag-and-drop reordering of browser tabs, and more robust pop-up blocking.\n\nAs more users continue to abandon Internet Explorer, Mozilla's popular Firefox gains traction in the browser space. Version 1.5 of Firefox offers a few notable features, foremost of which is the ability to reorder tabs by dragging and dropping them. You'll also find a tool that lets you quickly clean up your surfing history with two clicks of the mouse or a hot-key combo. The latest iteration of the browser seems more responsive than it has in the past and also is more efficient; with 10 windows open, Firefox consumed slightly less RAM than either IE or Opera.\n\nIf you're new to Firefox entirely, you'll appreciate the other features, including the RSS feeds, the JavaScript debugger, the basic download manager, and the ability to search several popular sites (such as Google) directly from the address bar. You can easily create toolbars by dragging and dropping icons. More technically minded users will appreciate that Firefox displays the page source in a new window, using indents and color-coded tags like an HTML editor. The built-in pop-up blocker is still extremely effective, and Firefox's reuptation for tight security is still well deserved. Anyone who's tired of IE will find more than one reason to like this free alternative.\n\nTop Ten Reason To Switch To Firefox:\n1. Tabbed Browsing - Makes surfing the web faster\n2. Popup Blocking\n3. Find Stuff Easier\n4. Simplified Privacy / Annoyance Eliminator\n5. Better Bookmarks and History\n6. Accessible, Intelligent, Responsive\n7. Customizable and Extendable\n8. Modern Download Manager\n9. Built for standards\n10. KISS (Keep It Simple and Straight-Forward)

Im pretty sure u have to make Mozilla ur default browser, if u dont have it as default:\n\nIn Windows XP, go to "Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Set Program Access and Defaults (on the left) -> Custom". After expanding the "Custom" category, you will see Internet Explorer and other installed browsers listed under "Choose a default Web browser". Select Mozilla or Mozilla Firefox.

For a couple of browser windows, all you need is:\n\nCPU: PII-300 or above;\n256 M RAM or above;\n20 GB, 5400 RPM HDD or above.\n\n*Use Windows 2000 on that config rather than Windows XP. \n\nIn other words, that garage sale PC is quite likely to be enough, and under no circumstances you should spend more than $300 on everything inside the system block. \n\nYou can have a recent  refurbished Dell desktop, shipped, with Windows XP installed, for even less (sort by price):\nhttp://outlet.us.dell.com/ARBOnlineSales/topics/global.aspx/arb/online/en/InventorySearch?c=us&cs=22&l=en&s=dfh\nand save youself some time.

well, I am baffled. If Firefox serves you well then why would you have to use Explorer? It is unsafe and open to attacks and many experts will descourage you from using it, read this for one\nhttp://www.pcworld.com/article/id,125772-page,3/article.html\nIf you don't like Firefox, then why not try Opera or any of the ones which are recommended for a safe browsing experience?

Windows XP with Serivce Pack 2 is best !

You can get it at \nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx\n\nBut I'd suggest getting Mozilla Firefox. It is also an internet browser that functions very similarly while being less prone to spyware and, in my opinion, has better features. You can get it at http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

firefox and opera\n\nI prefer the first

The term "best" is relative to your needs.\n\nIf your need to browse websites in a secure and fast manner is highest then Opera would be your choice (my personal preference).\n\nIf your need to be able to access most of the world's websites without a few sites being "unviewable" is highest then Internet Explorer would be your choice (but at a security risk).\n\nIf you want a browser with loads of technical add-ons to play with then Firefox would be your choice.\n\n<-------------->\n\nI prefer Opera because its download size is small, it provides the fastest browsing experience, it is the most secure browser, it has had so few vulnerabilities, vulnerabilities are patched the quickest, it is the most standards-compliant browser, it originated tabbed browsing, it originated "mouse gestures", it uses relatively little RAM, it includes an email client (POP3 & IMAP) with SPAM filtering, it includes an RSS reader, it includes a chat client, it includes a news protocol reader, it includes a fully functional download manager (future versions will be the first browser to include BitTorrent support), includes a WAP browser within it, supports small-screen rendering to see how pages look on cell phones, its highly customizable, if your PC crashes Opera remembers all your browsing tabs, it runs on Java MIDP for phones, it runs on Linux/UNIX and other platforms, etc.\n\nYou can't go wrong  :-)

Well, I used almost all browsers out there for Windows OS, Symbian OS, and Windows Mobile 5.0 (PDA)...\nOpera by far is the most satisfactory browser out there; tabbed browsing; extremely fast; very very user friendly; and lastly easy to customize. Firefox is a good choice, and it's getting more popular everyday. But I still find Opera (which is free on www.opera.com) more useful.\nBTW, for cellphone mobile brower, any java-enabled phone can run Opera-Mini, which is hell of a browser, Netfront is the second choice for SymbianOS phones.
