It doesn't exist. Development stopped with IE5. There are better, actual browsers now.

Yes but for some sites (ADT Payroll for example) you MUST use IE, there is no other choice.
The reason I'm asking is my company has a new VPN solution that's done through the browser, and it doesn't work well with Safari or Firefox.
Safari 4
Safari 4 no longer works on my Mac...I just get the spinning rainbow ball and then it become unresponsive. So....I'm only using Firefox now.

To be honest, every time someone said "use IE" I use firefox. Somehow it works. I had never heard of ADT until now, I thought it was ADP but I can see there may be an ADT. If ADT is a payroll service you're using and they insist on IE I would seriously switch payroll companies. And no, I am not kidding in the least.
Not the last time I tried, but perhaps now it does. Safari has so many inconsistencies I would much rather use FireFox, which also didn't work last I checked. I keep trying to like Safari but it just keeps letting me down.
Sorry for the slipup, I meant ADP. And the last time I tried neither Safari nor FireFox worked. One of teh (FF I think) appears to work at first but nothing is clickable past the first page.
Sigh, IE still entrenched
Yeah, some parts of the adp.com site are diabolical. At one time, it convinced me for 5mins that I was entering the wrong username/password in Firefox until I decided, by chance, to try IE6 and successfully logged in.
Funnily enough, I ran into a similar problem last night while submitting an error report on a Yahoo form. It refused to process my submission in Firefox so I had to retry in IE6.
The mind just boggles...

One of the most frustrating for me is that when I set the preferences to open external links in a new window, sometimes it opens in a new window, sometimes it opens in a new tab in an existing window, and sometimes it opens in an existing tab in an existing window. And this is when opening links from Mail.app, usually macrumors thread links. This happens in both Safari 3 and Safari 4 Beta, in both Leopard and SL (I'm a beta tester). And it happens both at home and at work on different systems. I have nver had this issue with FireFox.
i had a simler issue my company uses VDI through a web portal using a VPN. IE only compatble.
I told them i only had a mac at home and didnt want to install a "virus infested unstable, buggy load of C**p" (Windows) onto it.
There solution... buy me a windows Laptop
