Below is a list of different Internet browsers, and where to get them. If you are having trouble with Internet Explorer, giving one of these other browsers a try may be well worth your time.
1.) Firefox – Firefox is a open-source browser brought you by the Mozilla foundation. You can download Firefox at http://www.getfirefox.com
2.) Chrome – Chrome is released by a company called Google, a company some of you may have heard of

A brief note:
Determining browser shares is tricky, and there is reason to doubt that IE is the current leader. For instance, Firefox is the leader where my own website is concerned and W3Schools shows Firefox clearly ahead of IE (http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp).
If nothing else, I suspect that IE looses any lead it may have as soon as the bar of inclusion is raised above a very low level with regard to user proficiency and time spent surfing.
You are correct. Many users cannot identify which browser they use everyday, let alone are aware that there are other browsers available 🙂
