Does anyone know of a good browser that is better than Internet Explorer?

Firefox is a good browser. It has a fairly small memory footprint and is highly customizable if you are into that sort of thing.

A common problem for people viewing Facebook on any browser is ads or non-Facebook junk on the screen. You can get a massive increase in performance / faster page loads on all browser types by adding ad block software to your system. I absolutely love Adblock Plus for Firefox (http://adblockplus.org/en/) as it disables banner ads, sidebar ads, and almost all other junk content that doesn't come directly from the page you are trying to view. If you try it and don't like it Adblock Plus is also easy to disable, but I promise you'll like it.
