Advantages: Easy to use when it runs ok

Disadvantages: One of the weakest browsers around now, slow!

Internet Explorer - Internet Explorer sort of forces itself on you if you've been and are a Microsoft user, there are plenty of better options though and most people fortunately are aware of this these days.

Internet Explorer hasn't really improved a great deal over the decade, despite producing various new versions it is still incredibly slow to load and behaves like a cantancarous old person on a day's shopping. IE seems to be the Austin Princess of the bunch, struggling to get its engine started (load quickly) and rusting quickly (attracting the dreaded trojan viruses), with other issues along the way like the option between pop-ups or overly exciteable pop-up blockers!

Having just looked at my IE , I realise that I have an old version on this computer (I couldn't remember as I rarely use it), pre-tabbed browsing which reminded me just how awkward it was when you wanted several pages open at the same time and it often caused the computer to crash. All in all, good riddance, don't worry Bill, you're still loaded!

Summary: Slow as a turtle, IE is dieing quickly
