A few weeks ago I told you about a new broswer called FireFox. I've been using it for a a couple of months and think it's a great new PC tool. The beta testing is over and the version 1.0 has been released. Check it out. just remember that you'll still need IE on your PC for window security updates (ughhh) and some websites that only work with IE.
Just a few reasons to use it over internet Explorer:
Popup Blocking
Stop annoying popup ads in their tracks with Firefox's built in popup blocker.
- Tabbed Browsing
- View more than one web page in a single window with this time saving feature. Open links in the background so that they're ready for viewing when you're ready to read them.
-
- Privacy and Security
- Built with your security in mind, Firefox keeps your computer safe from malicious spyware by not loading harmful ActiveX controls. A comprehensive set of privacy tools keep your online activity your business.
-
- Smarter Search
- Google Search is built right into the toolbar, and there are a plethora of other search tools including Smart Keywords (type "dict
" in the Location bar), and the new Find bar (which finds text as you type without covering up anything). -
- Live Bookmarks
- RSS integration lets you read the latest news headlines and read updates to your favorite sites that are syndicated.
-
- Hassle-Free Downloading
- Files you download are automatically saved to your Desktop so they're easy to find. Fewer prompts mean files download quicker.
-
- Fits Like a Glove
- Simple and intuitive, yet fully featured, Firefox has all the functions you're used to - Bookmarks, History, Full Screen, Text Zooming to make pages with small text easier to read, etc.
