Don't use IE.  Any version.

Yes, you want to upgrade IE8 to IE11 for the much better security.  Even if you don't use it.

Swapping to a different browser, is always another option, but overblown by most accounts.  I have three browsers installed.  Some sites work better with certain browsers than others.

I was working on the updates today, did the clean install on a Thinkpad the other day/  I did have some websites that didn't like IE 11 on my old Thinkpad so today I installed IE9 first then IE11 with the rest of the updates.  this is just in case I have to revert, I like IE9 better than IE8.  So far everything is working great.

I think it's simply personal preference. I'm a Safari (cause I own a Mac) and a Chrome (cause what OS doesn't it run on?) guy.

Just go from 8 to 11.

If you want you can download 9 and have it just in case.  8 is the version you want to not have.

I have seen some sites that don't work well with IE10-11, however recent updates to both IE11 and the sites seem to have fixed it (mostly media sites).
