Better Browser
Thursday, March 9th, 2006
Just a quick note: I was just looking over the stats for this web site, and it looks like 40% of the hits to this site are still coming from Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer opens you up to all kinds of virus, spyware, and security related problems, and is a fairly outdated crappy browser besides. Do yourself a favor, go download firefox and install it. It is free, it is much better, and it will help keep your computer from getting bogged down with spyware and stuff like that, though you are likely to already have quite a bit of that since you are currently running Internet Explorer. Trust me, Firefox is better, try it for a week, and you’ll never go back. Oh yeah, when you get it installed and have it open, try pressing Ctrl-t. A new tab will open and you’ll be able to keep more than one website open in the same window in different tabs. That is a feature that I will never be able to do without again. Oh yeah, one more tip: if you want the link you are clicking to open in a new tab, hold down the Ctrl key while you click the link (you can also hold shift along with it to open the new tab in the background. If you haven’t yet, go download it now. Really. You’ll thank me later. Now! Go!!
