I quit IE years ago, and began using firefox - an excellent free browser.
On a recommendation, I was told that Google chrome was a better off choice than either, but that advice came from a non-gamer.
But chrome works fine too, except recently, after their last update, I began having lock ups (unable to operate CAROUSEL videos), so I went back to Firefox to do all my carousel collections and all my problems vanished! I have been cleaning up this week, especially!
Google still works fine for game play, but FIREFOX has never let me down.
Others have touted Maxthon, Opera, & Komodo Dragon, but I cannot comment on those.
