... if you want to see the links to the ight.
I've got nothing much to say today so I thought I'd give a plug for Firefox, which I really do rate. There is an occasional flakiness when I've got something like 40 tabs open on, maybe, 4 pages. However, my cookies file is virtually empty, there aren't any popups so there's no need to have an extra programme to sort out I.E. and, most importantly for a non-nerd like me, it's as easy as 1-2-4. Downloading is a cinch; you can pause and resume whenever.
The following is from Mozilla's page of bumph. Experience leads me to, just this once, believe it.

Privacy and Security

Smarter Search
Google Search is built right into the toolbar, and there are a plethora of other search tools including Keywords (type "dict
" in the Location Bar), and the new find toolbar (which finds as you type and eliminates the annoying window that always seems to be in your way).
Live Bookmarks

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.
S, M, L or XL-You Choose
Firefox is the most customizable browser on the planet. Customize your toolbars to add additional buttons, install new Extensions that add new features, add new Themes to browse with style, and use the adaptive search system to allow you to search an infinite number of engines. Firefox is as big or small as you want.
Setup's a Snap
At only 4.5MB (Windows), Firefox takes just a few minutes to download over a slow connection and seconds over a fast connection. The installer gets you set up quickly, and the new Easy Transition system imports all of your settings - Favorites, passwords and other data from Internet Explorer and other browsers - so you can start surfing right away.
