Cheers Howie - Got Firefox and never looked back, only in anger at IE :p

I still use IE and there isn't much difference except for Firefox sometimes being a bit safer.

Or not - as the case may be. Safari is the web browser for macOSX. Yesterday I was prompted by my computer that there was an upgrade available for Safari. Dutifully clicking the box, I downloaded the file, installed it, restarted as instructed and...Phuuut - Safari is no longer, so while I'm waiting for some feedback from Apple I'm back on IE. :mad:

Good time to try out Firefox, eh (if it's available for the Mac). ;)
