I use firefox, and I like it.

Two applets that I've added to it that I've found to be particularly useful are Ghostery and Web of Trust.

Ghostery lets you know what things are running on the page in the background -- web bugs, javascript libraries, etc.
Mike, thanks for the tip about Ghostery -- that's a nifty little add-on. So far, it seems to catch the same things NoScript blocks automatically: Google analytics, etc...

You are running NoScript, right?

I've had WOT for a while, and it's useful, but I think it gives quite a few "false alarms:" negative ratings for sites that just made someone mad...
