Slashdot Article.  

DHS says don't use MSIE.  Maybe this will stimulate web designers to do their freaking jobs and write standards compliant web pages.

Refalm:
That's the most sensible thing I've heard comming from Homeland Security.

I recommend IE user to switch to Firefox ($ 0, easy to use, open source) or Opera ($ 30 (Google ads when you don't buy it, so it's no big deal when you don't  ;) ), more features, skins and support).

WMD:
I still recommend the full Mozilla.  Firefox doesn't feel as extensive.  I plan on switching my dad over to one of the two soon.  :D

I like the Mozilla suite too, but admit it, it's too geeky. Your John Doe doesn't care about helluvalot of options, he just wants something that really easy to use and is feature rich at the same time.
Firefox does this perfectly. In fact, it has a clear and usable interface which makes it even more easy to use than Internet Explorer.

Also, people that like feature rich shareware applications can go for Opera. I happen to know some people who'll only use commercial software that Opera is perfect for  

Oh, and about the Mozilla suite... well, the Gecko engine works and feels great, and it's got just the features and options that are the ones that I want in a browser.

MrX:
ive tried firefox and it looks crummy, sure it has the best pop-up percentage, and has a cool logo, but oprea is more usefull. more features, options, looks cool, intergrated email... and has a bar thing that tells you webpage progress. seperate tabs for downloads too. word up.
