FireFox, and a free sig pic

[AntiangelicAngel]

Today I had the pleasant experience of switching over to the FireFox browser from that other browser, you know, the one made by Bill Gates and endorsed by Satan himself. The reason I chose to do so was specific: Spyware makes me uneasy. With the patriot act already passed, the freedom to access sites we chose without someone knowing so makes me uncomfortable. That is why I personally review every cookie placed in my cookie jar. FireFox was made with that in mind. Active X, a plug-in or something simmilar to that is in Microsoft's Internet Privacy Remover...er... Explorer. It allows companies to download spyware directly into your computer. The amusing thing is Fox 9 News did a piece on spyware last week. They did a piece on blogging earlier this summer. I wish the 'news' didn't tell me things I've known about for years. But anyway, this is an excellent browser.
I opened it, and was at first dissatisfied with the interface appearance. It reminded me of Nintendo's approach to video games. Keep graphics simple stupid. I then realized something. Dispite the retro unoriginal graphics, the program runs great. Load time is ridiculously faster, and the program just runs smoothly. I have experienced none of the problems I've found with AOL, IE, Safari, Netscape. Ah, Netscape, the joys of grade school, where kids were like "Guess what?!? I'm getting the internet!" I was probably the first kid in my school to get the internet. And now it's twice as fast! 56k instead of 28.8! *Sigh* I'm getting cable as soon as the remodeling of the kitchen is finished and the G4 goes back in the room next to the kitchen.
Anyway, I strongly suggest this browser. I am especially impressed with the "Latest Headlines" menu, in which one can click down and find a list of the top 25 or so headlines, and open a report on them. Huh *Looks* "Eurostar turns 10," nice to know. It's still "in red." Does that mean it's communist? I'll read into it later. Pardon me, I am a bit out of it. The find function, press ctrl + f, rather than bringing up a window, brings up a tab at the bottom of the screen, and edits placement to the first appearance of a word as you type. It is excellent and simple. Anyway, I strongly suggest giving FireFox a whirl. The OS X version was, I believe, an 8.6 MB download. What do you have to lose?

Yes, FireFox is great, everyone knows that, and a large majority of people are starting to use it. I like my sig too much to change it to something I didn't make. Sorry, but hey, keep fighting the good fight.

Which is better, Mozilla Browser or the Firefox one. You can download either one from the website, but which is better?

Or just hold Ctrl and press +.

I like firefox, but I think if IE added tabbed browsing, I would go back. They block popups now anyway.

I just switched myself, I love it. My computer had been bogged with spyware twice now, but that was with IE.
