Whats the best way to configure a firewall for Internet Browsing?

My Kerio rule is set to allow the following:

Protocol TCP(Out)
Local Port: Any
Remote address: Any
Remote Port: Any
Application: c:\.....\iexplore.exe

In other words, Internet Explorer is allowed to talk to anything it likes on
any port.

Again, similar to an earlier post, how can I tighten this down. It looks
too "open" for my liking.

I could add a list of remote ports
eg: 80, 8080, 443(for secure https) etc

What is the recommended list of remote ports to allow for IE?
