In my ongoing quest to become more web-savy and computer literate, I'm changing web browsers. I've just axed Internet Explorer and installed Firefox. (It's free!) I'm already happy with the change. The "tabs" feature alone made it worthwhile. What a time saver! And I've heard that besides being easier to use, Firefox also promises to be the more secure choice.
I'm also installing Greasemonkey. It's a free Firefox extension which lets you add user scripts to tweak the websites you frequent. I want to iron out some hassles I've experienced with flickr, like my long list of alphabetical groups with no way to reorganize them. I'm sure I'll find some other useful scripts to try out. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
I'm curious. Which browser are you using? IE? Netscape? Safari? Firefox?
On a similar subject. what's your favorite search engine? Metaeureka? MSNsearch? Alta Vista? Yahoo? Google? With so many choices, it would be nice to hear your opinion.

Firefox rocks! And I use Blingo for my web-browsing needs (only because they bribe me to do so).
Blingo? I've never heard of it. I'll check it out!
Firefox is my choice! I love the tabbed browsing. I installed addblock and block images from ad servers. A wonderful thing. Google gets my searches.
Blingo rocks -- you win prizes for searching. I can send you a link and if you win prizes, I win prizes. (And if the people you invite win prizes, you also win.) I've gotten a ten dollar iTunes gift certificate and $300 worth of Visa gift cards.
(It's powered by google.)
Thanks, JC...I'll check out that adblock.
Kate - You betcha. Send me a link and I'll sign up as your buddy :0)
