I have been a loyal fan of my internet browser for a long time.  But the last little while things have started to change.  Some sites are not displaying as they should, occasionally the application totally goes blank and takes 30 -50 seconds before the web page shows up again.  Flash causes errors everytime it tries to load a flash based error.  It seems to have gone from a solid app to a buggy mess.  Well I have been using an alternative for about a week now and I have to say that Internet Explorer 7 is working great.  Perhaps it’s not that evil, no good, dirty, rotten browser that I read about on many sites.  Is it possible that they just are jealous of the company who makes it and so everything they produce gets critisized blindly.  I have loved firefox, and will likely go through the process of unistalling it and reinstalling it to see if that will work out the bugs, but for now IE7 is working out just fine.
