FIREFOX, one point five.

Rediscover the web! ;)

Firefox 1.5, the final version is out, For those still living under rocks, Firefox is an aternative Browser for surfing the web, and by all reasonable arguments, its far, far better than, say internet explorer, the default one that comes with windows. Youll understand in what way its better once you've tried it. It blocks pop-ups, has tabs so you dont need 10 windows clugging your toolbar (so you can acually see the other programs you run..) And its got something called Extensions, that can do all sorts of things, some even allowing you to block just about all possible ads (yes in-site banners, flash-ads , you name it)all over the net, without ruining anything useful ofcourse

The Firefox Frontpage isnt updated just yet, which means the _big_ traffic can still be avoided, so youll have to get it from the FTP: go to win32 folder, then en_us for the english windows version
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.5/

To get rid of all banners etc get Adblock plus and the Filterset.g updater

There's a plugin that allows you to open links in an IE window INSIDE Firefox when you find troublesome sites that only like IE.

Yep, use IEView to get options like "open this page in IE" or Open this Link in IE. you can also choose "Always open this page in IE"

IEtab intergrates IE into Firefox, so all you have to do is press a firefox icon in the status bar, and it turns into the IE icon and reloads the page using the IE renderer
