As I go to click on after typing that, it kills it again...

That is about 5 times today alone.

It's the adverts sadly. Some use plugins which sometimes fall over. It is rather annoying.

Do tell?

All my PC's run on explorer.

How do I change to something else if that is what you are suggesting?

Viewing websites doesn't crash the browser.

I asked for that!

Is that the only benefit?

Are there any downsides?

There are a huge number of benefits, way too long to try and list really.

I think I can safely say there are no downsides other than having to make the leap into the unknown and get used to a marginally different UI, after all, if you don't like it you can just uninstall it and continue with IE.

Firefox predominantly.

I use a stack of other ones - epiphany, konqueror, links, safari, opera... but I wouldn't recommend them to you yet. Most of them probably would need you to change OS too which is going a little far. smile
