try Yahoo toolbar, it works great it is what I have. If you downloaded yahoo messenger it should have offered it to you. It does not take up extra ram or no does it interfer with your computers ability when running other programs, what I mean is it does not slow the performace down of other programs that are being run, and it does not give your out of memory please close a program and try again like some popups do.

Also, Mozilla has the wonderful built-in pop-up blocker, like many people have said. And even though it loads different parts of the page, i’ve found that when i use mozilla, for some reason my downloads are faster. as in, the download takes less than half a second, even for huge downloads. i do not know why.
All in all, i think Mozilla would be a better choice, but each browser has their pros and cons. that’s why i still keep IE handy, for those certain tasks that Mozilla can’t complete as efficiently.

Besides, it doesn’t have any exploits, so stop talking about that, just update the thing from Microsoft’s website and everything is good. It’s clean, no damn splash screen (ugh), organized, customizable, and just plain good. Those are the words of Fimus. Everyone has an opinion.
ACTUALLY, MSIE is one of the worst browsers that are available right now. It hasn’t been updated to current web standards in years now that Microsoft feels they beat the competition. IE doesn’t display most CSS properties correctly, why do you think there are so many CSS hacks for it? Just wait and see Fimus, Mozilla/Firebird WILL out compete MSIE in a year if not months. Mozilla/Firebird have MUCH more features as well.
