Smarter, Faster Browsing
If you are using IE (Internet Explorer) and not Firefox, consider switching - it’s FREE!
Firefox did something really smart in my book. Their browser works on either a PC or a Mac. That gives them points right there as far as I’m concerned.
They’ve also got some features that can save time if you are online a lot.
For instance, if you frequent the same listservs and forums and have bookmarks coming out your ears you’ll LOVE tabbed browsing. You can set the tabs up in your bookmark bar right on the screen keeping them easy to get to and then everything you put in the tab opens up and you merely need to go from tab to tab.
The new Firefox version (2.0) also warns you if you go onto a site that is known for phishing, has an integrated spell checker, and allows you to add to/remove/reorder what search engine results show up when you use their search field.
Did you know if you are using the Firefox browser it makes it so very easy to identify and sign up for RSS feed? If you are reading this in Firefox, look up at the address bar. See the icon to the right? Yup, just click on that and you can sign right up for the feed. It then takes you to a page where you have a choice as to how you want to receive the feed.
And speaking of that, I love Google. My personal Google page has feed from all my favorite blogs, local weather, inspirational quotes, top news, and a Sudoku puzzle to greet me every morning when I log in with my first cup of coffee. Oh, and a timer. When I know I have a lot on my plate I like to set the timer so I don’t spend too much time browsing and reading!
