I use IE for 3 sites WU, Yahoo Launch, and Amazon, as the CD music preview thing works better with ActiveX.

But with the "ieview" extension, I can just right click on a page that doesn't appear right in FF and load it in IE easily.

This is very true, but something to point out is that IE is an integral part of the OS, and it could be argued that having your broswer seperate from your OS would be more secure, regardless of the security holes.

I stuck by IE for a long time cos Im a stubborn cnut, and when everyone was moaning at me to change to FF this just made me more determined to stick with it

I have changed now though, and to be honest I havent noticed any great improvement from FF, but due to reasons above, I do consider it more secure.
