I use IE 8 when I have trouble with Firefox (more often since going to 9.0.1) I started to upgrade from IE 8 to IE 9,
but even Microsoft points out that there are added provisions in privacy policy. I read over the policy, & it seems
to me that with IE 9, many more entities will have access to my info. Am I wrong? Do you recommend the upgrade?

Thanks,

Bill

Hi. I don't really know, but I am using IE9 ( well it is installed, as I am actually using MSN Explorer which is a hybrid of sorts ). IE9 is supposed to be more secure from what I understand.
