There are other browsers such as Neoplanet, which actually is not a browser by itself, but rather uses the MSIE browser engine (which has to be installed on your system) and spices it up by using "skins" to make it look interesting and let you customize its appearance.
I am not going to tell you here which browser is the better or the best, or give an elaborate review of each one. The discussion about which one is better is pointless, it depends on your taste, preferences and web habits. Each browser will do just fine for web surfing and offers all the necessary capabilities. The difference is mainly in the layout and additional features. You should try out several for a few weeks and see which one you like best. Since they are all free, it won't cost anything but your time to make that
decision.
Added: According to people who track these things IE was the major browser all
through 2004 accounting for over 90% of the market. It, however,
is plagued by various security problems and is the target for most
hackers and spyware / adware infections. Firefox is, according to
the statisticians, the browser to watch as it has been making big
inroads into IE's dominance all through 2005.
