Shift from Internet Explorer for Safe Browsing

The recent attacks carried out by Chinese hackers were possible due to a flaw in the Internet Explorer.

Though Microsoft has released a patch to fix the flaw, But many technology consultants argue that surfing the web is unsafe with IE.
Browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla, Opera provide better security such as protection against Phishing, process SandBoxing,anti Spamming & data theft protection etc.
It is also worth noting the Chrome & Mozilla & other browsers provide better & faster browsing speeds as compared to IE.

So is shifting from IE a better option for you? tell me what do you think??
