I love Firefox

10 November 2004   

 

I love Firefox

Ditch MSIE and get Firefox! Though their servers are being hammered, and are thusly slow.
I do, I really do love Firefox. Mostly I love the tabs, and the way I can drag the current URL from the address bar into folders in the bookmarks toolbar (there's lots more there too) and pop-up blocking. And passwords, all saved for me (I'm not too worried about security here—my bank and eBay details aren't stored).

And the extensions (though lots aren't updated yet for this new release).

Here's some more links that others may find valuable:
Latest version of Opera (another browser, said to be even better than Firefox—I'm still to enamoured to consider looking at another lover at the mo).

MOOX, a rebuild of Firefox optimised for particular processors (identify yours with CPU-Z).

Check out some extensions for Firefox.
I recommend:
Image Zoom still awaiting the update for Firefox 1.0
Ad blocker does what it says on the tin
IE viewer, see what a page looks like in MSIE from the rightclick menu
Search tools! I'm trying these out, there's just too many new ones! Finally installed All-in-one search button 1.1
Web developer. Obviously.
Tabbed browser. Fan-fucking-tastic!
Fire FTP. Brilliant, free ftp app.
Tweak network. Wow. I thought I was fast anyway, but...

Their servers are being hit too hard, I'll wait a week or so, before really playing with the extensions.
