What Browser should I use with Canvas?

I really like Internet Explorer - Why can't I use it with Canvas? 

Canvas does not support Internet Explorer. You will experience many problems if you use this unsupported browser. These problems include course content not opening correctly or showing up and problems submitting assignments. Firefox, Chrome (or Safari for Mac users) really are the best bets when using Canvas.
