I haven't tried either of them yet myself, but would like to get some input from a reliable source. Are these browsers worth the extra security from spyware?

I've been recommended by dozens of people to try out Mozilla or Firefox to use instead of IE. However, some reviews on the download sites like CNET say these browsers slow things down too much and are blocked by certain websites.

Just to add, spoofing or pretending to be IEFirefox is a very good browser. Especially with all of the extensions that are available for it.
Some (but very few) websites are specifically made for IE browser only because it has been badly written or uses activex. If you do come accross a website that won't work in firefox then you can use ieview which adds an option to the right click menu to allow you to easily view that page in internet explorer or use a "User Agent Switcher" which will allow your browser to "pretend" to be IE.

There are so many cool features I wasn't getting before and my fav sites load much faster. I don't know why I was so hesitant to try it out.
I looked at the list of extentions and notice there is an Ad blocker. Doesn't Firefox already come with a "built-in" ad blocker, or is this it?
