You must work for Microsoft. Firefox is without a doubt the best browser,
and it is free. Do you realize that Microsoft ripped off a lot of the
features of Firefox for version 7, as well as completely ripping off the
web developer toolbar? They still will not get it right though. IE is
not a good browser or a safe one and never will be.

Firefox is innovation. It is the cutting edge of
browser technology. There are more than 600 Firefox extensions
freely available. There is no ActiveX in Firefox so it is much more
secure than Internet Explorer. That is why if you switch to Firefox you
will get rid of most of your spyware problems.

Also, it is open-source and that means that anyone can look at the code
and easily make modifications to the browser to customize it in whatever
way desired. If you know any CSS (which is very easy to learn) you can
make a CSS file and customize the look of Firefox with just a few lines of
text.

Either you have never tried Firefox, or else you never learned how to use
it (it has a lot of features and several books have been written about
it). I don't know anyone who has seriously tried Firefox and not preferred
it over Internet Explorer.

Firefox is recommended in USA Today:

Firefox is recommended in Forbes:
http://www.forbes.com/2004/09/29/cx_ah_0929tentech.html?partner=tentech_newsletter

Are you telling me the people at Forbes are idiots?

It is also one of the top 10 products of the past 10 years on CNET, along
with Google and the iPod:

The fact that your vocabulary is limited to "idiot" and "retard" makes me
suspect that you either work for Microsoft or are still in high school.
If you want to have a serious conversation about getting rid of spyware
you will have to do better.
