Myself, I've got a popup blocker, but the thing that kills IE for me is the lack of standards compliance. It really sucks trying to code HTML when you have to code "correct" code (according to <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer">W3 standards</a>) and then have to add or change things within that spec so that IE users can read them properly.

I've been quite a happy user of IE since 2.0, and spywares and popups have never concerned me, because I never see or find them. I don't use file-sharers, and that seems to keep a lot of spywares out of my PC. I’m going to take the plunge, and see it for myself.

I don't spend a lot of time doing bullshit on the net, and thus pop-up and spyware aren't a major concern for me (plus I have Ad-aware and Spybot, which take care of them quite nicely). The only thing I really require of my browser is to open when I tell it to. That's all. I love tabbed browsing, standards adherence (which IE6 is not nearly as bad at as the author claims) and stylesheet switching but I'm not willing to give up the speed of IE. When I click my IE quicklaunch icon, I get a window immediately. When I click the Firefox one, I wait five seconds while it loads (unless I let it run a little craplet in the background). I know that this isn't Mozilla's fault, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm an impatient sonovabitch. I’ll tell you why I still use IE in one simple word: speed.
