Faster than firefox, Chrome.

IE is a ***.Only lazy peolpe use it and get sucked into all crappy problems.

Dang! Is there like one single thing that was
created by western advanced thinkers that isn''t destroyed or somehow highjacked and compromised?? Geez, they could go ruin their own culture for a change! Or at least invent something useful to everyone for once, instead of corrupting it, full of arrogant pride.

A firewall wont help you with this flaw.. If you go to a compromised site, than obviously the firewall is letting the site through on an HTTP port, otherwise you couldnt see or use the site..
A firewall blocks other ports from being opened, particularly on your end.

Firefox is the way to go. Only Microsoft continues to put out total cr*ap into the marketplace, and gets away with it because people are too lazy to find alternatives.
