Mozilla! Internet explorer will give you viruses
my brother swears by mozilla
i’ve had both and i personally think they’re bout the same although mozilla may be a BIT more secure.
I have found from personal experience that Firefox is much less susceptible to picking up adware etc, and as a result it tends to stay in a “working” state for a much longer time period than Internet Explorer does.
fire fox is.why? you can use your security on your computer like avg to add on your fire fox.
internet explorer has way too many pop ups
I like Internet Explorer but Mozilla is safer
Firefox is more secure and easier to secure. I only use IE for updating Windows.
Internet Explorer is full of ‘bugs’.
Mozilla is the proven choice for being secure.
Firefox
Explorer, if you really wanna be secure download CCleaner
Use the latest versions of any browsers. Every browser has got vulnerabilities. Always use up-to-date PC security softwares. That will avoid in case if you get into dangerous websites.
None are as secure as Google Chrome.

Firefox is more secure than IE 8
Chrome periodically downloads updates of two blacklists (one for phishing and one for malware), and warns users when they attempt to visit a harmful site. Google notifies the owners of listed sites who may not be aware of the presence of the harmful software.
Chrome will typically allocate each tab to fit into its own process to “prevent malware from installing itself” or “using what happens in one tab to affect what happens in another”, however the actual process allocation model is more complex. Following the principle of least privilege, each process is stripped of its rights and can compute, but can not write files or read from sensitive areas (e.g. documents, desktop) for example, malicious software running in one tab is supposed to be unable to sniff credit card numbers entered in another tab, interact with mouse inputs, or tell Windows to “run an executable on start-up” and it will be terminated when the tab is closed.This enforces a simple computer security model whereby there are two levels of multilevel security (user and sandbox) and the sandbox can only respond to communication requests initiated by the user.
I find Mozilla Firefox a lot safer and better than Internet Explorer. I used the Explorer forever, but started having slowdown issues, and pop ups using pop up blockers. After switching to Firefox, everything got better, I found its safer in term of options and accessibility. Plus you can get free themes and other cool stuff with Firefox.
FireFox by far.
I’d say mozilla out of those two.
However i would say google chrome is more secure than either of them as it was built ground-up, relatively recently, with security in mind. It also performed best in the April PWN2OWN hacker competition which shows its strength against modern hacker attempts.
According to the United States Government, they say there are “significant vulnerabilities” in Internet Explorer:
“There are a number of significant vulnerabilities in technologies involving the IE domain/zone security model,…”
