# Experience the firefox
www.firefox.com

Feel the added search features, and the ability to have a pimping browser.


Literally, I put the "Pimpzilla" theme on, because it is awesome.

# mum accidentally downloaded the new IE (the firefox ripoff)
ages ago, so when i was home at easter i got used to tabbed browsing, so had to replace my old IE with the dark side of browsing when i got back. don't see what all the fuss about tabs is

# IE
has inbuilt trackers so that bill gates knows everything you do. Everything is saved in a mysterious hidden file on your computer.

fact.

Firefox does not have such a built in big brother type device.

yes. but not so they can look at what youre up to. just for checking up on people after the fact if they get in trouble.

ms do it without the knowedge of most of their customers and for no discernable porpoise.

# they are sometimes handy
tho it's sometimes a fucking annoyance when a page that is in a tab goes into a huff for whatever reason and you can't move to any other tab and the whole thing just sits there and thinks about it

oh, how empowering it all is :(

bah

# I find that clicking on the open tab, which usually works,
and then pressing left or right depending on where you want to go usually works.

# I find the "trying to click on anything" in this circumstances
inneffective

especially when the whole program is locked into a little world of it's own

# I love the "open closed tab" feature
=)

# it's nice when it all works

# Its not just the tabs
But tabbed browsing is much easier than having 17 seperate internet windows up at the same time.

Firefox is also much safer, especially if you use extensions such as NoScript and Adblock, it's much nicer to look at if you find a nice theme, and it isn't anooyingly irritatin like the gay Bad AIDS of Browsing (aKa IE)

# I'd think Pimpzilla would be cheesy
But it's actually quite calming.
It's all soft looking, instead of a harsh angular theme.
