I have tried Opera and Firefox and they are nothing more than beta browsers with learned configurations from IE exploits. Too many incompatibilities and many sites don't load properly, if at all. Just like those who code exploits, web designers are designing sites for maximum yield.

How could you possible even say that when the browser is fully configurable.
I could understand if you would have said that the default settings were unsafe. This is true as Microsoft opted for maximum compatibility well before all these exploits were even crafted.
It's funny that you did not mention that SP2 had elimininated most of these "holes", simply by disabling ActiveX. This is something that was learned from IE exploits and implemented in these other browsers.
The bottom line is that just like any other software on your system, IE comes with help files. It is the user's responsibility to configure software to suit individual needs.
Over the years I have been hit by IE exploits. I simply reconfigure IE to harden it against those exploits in the future. It's that simple.
Don't expect these beta browser manufacturer's to configure your software for you with some silly
"one size fits all" solution that reeks of incompatibilities.
Learn how to configure your software!!! It is software, isn't it?
It's easy.
