I've got some great customizations on it that make my web experience great every time! As for Thunderbird, or other email clients - I prefer webmail. Too many chances for viruses and malware to infect your computer when you download and open emails, or even just delete them before opening. With webmail, everything stays on the server. And IF your computer needs to be reformatted, everything is still right on the server next time you log in. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/669#post-3576 Tue, 20 Mar 2007 23:37:27 +0000 BuBBy 3576@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I couldn't function without tabbed browsing. I first found tabbed browsing about 10 years ago with <a href="http://www.netcaptor.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.netcaptor.com</a> and I still use it on my laptop because the keyboard navigation is second nature to me now. </p> <p>I have a multi-threaded brain that tends to just dive off on tangents (or is it that I'm easily distracted) - so multiple tabs allows me to easily branch off in 10 new directions and backtrack easily, when I remember what it was I was originally....</p> <p>... what was I saying? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/669#post-3564 Tue, 20 Mar 2007 20:27:49 +0000 EvilGenius 3564@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks Lee :D </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/669#post-3553 Tue, 20 Mar 2007 18:06:46 +0000 Wolven 3553@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>No Avant? I loved Mozilla but it became a hog. Oh so happy when the team released Firefox as a light alternative. Haven't used Seamonkey,..I've read too many negative comments on it. No need for it here, anyhooo.</p> <p>I tried an early version of Thunderbird and had problems with it hanging and crashing, so I put that on the back-burner for a while. A friend installed it at Christmastime, it crashed and she lost her address book and saved mail. Now she does backups, haahaa!<br /> Ahh computer nerds,..will they ever learn? I'm happy knowing south of nothing.</p> <p>Tabbed browsing is horses-for-courses. I didn't like it at first - Can't live without it now. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/669#post-3542 Tue, 20 Mar 2007 16:13:28 +0000 Lee 3542@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I don't like tabbed browsing myself, I prefer I.E. tabbed turned off.</p> <p>I have Netscrape oops netscape, firefox, mozilla, seamonkey and opera installed to check web pages I write.</p> <p>I like Thunderbird, great for my hotmail, gmail and aol emails. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/669#post-3541 Tue, 20 Mar 2007 15:40:00 +0000 Wolven 3541@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Mozilla Mutt here! Devout fan since its inception. I have to say that Firefox is the best thing since sliced milk (ahh come on, don't tell me you missed it!). Better than Opera, and leaves IE dead in the water.</p> <p>Feature packed tabbed browser, security enhanced as mentioned in above posts (Switch Proxy &#38; Tor plug-ins also available), with an abundance of themes and more plug-ins than you can shake a sheik at.</p> <p>Run your media player directly from the browser with Foxy Tunes - Pluck web video from YouTube, Meta Cafe, etc with Video Downloader or alternatives - Forecost Fox for local weather-casts - Use Fox Lingo to translate foreign websites - Footie Fox for live European and English football scores (just for Lee) - Fox Clocks for a 'mouse-over' of world times - Flash Got Downloader.....And that would not fill one page of what must be 100 or more pages of plug-ins (but who's counting).</p> <p>Tab Mix Plus, All-In-One Sidebar, Add Bookmarks Here, Update Notifier and Quick Restart give your browser added functionality and ease of use.</p> <p>Check it out...<br /> Firefox Central <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/central.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/central.html</a><br /> A universe of Add-Ons <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/?application=firefox" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/?application=firefox</a></p> <p>Be a part of the team.<br /> Mozilla Developer Center <a href="http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Main_Page" rel="nofollow">http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Main_Page</a><br /> Mozilla Zine <a href="http://www.mozillazine.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mozillazine.org/</a></p> <p>A great backup and restore utility for Mozilla. <a href="http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/" rel="nofollow">http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/</a></p> <p>It's more than a browser,...it's a community.</p> <p>Foxy surfing! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/669#post-3538 Tue, 20 Mar 2007 13:57:53 +0000 GOogle 3538@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks Lee,</p> <p>My favorite browser by far. It's just super!<br /> One of the best Add-ons to install is of course, Adblock Plus with which you can easily remove all ads you choose to. But you can also use it to see exactly which scripts any web page is loading and eventually block it. Another recommended add-on is Flashblock because too much flash on a page is not only annoying, but it eats you CPU power. </p> <p>G.O. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/669#post-3537 Tue, 20 Mar 2007 13:21:27 +0000 Lee 3537@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Released today, the alternative open source browser named FireFox.</p> <p>The award-winning Web browser is better than ever. Browse the Web with confidence. Firefox protects you from viruses, spyware and pop-ups.<br /> Enjoy improvements to performance, ease of use and privacy. It's easy to import your favorites and settings and get started. </p> <p>The latest version delivers easier navigation for everyone, including those who are visually or motor-impaired. Firefox is the first browser to support DHTML accessibility, which, when enabled by Web authors, allows rich Web applications to be read aloud. Users may navigate with keystrokes rather than mouse clicks, reducing the tabbing required to navigate documents such as spreadsheets. Firefox 1.5 (Windows version) is also the first browser to meet US federal government requirements that software be easily accessible to users with physical impairments. </p> <p>Download (various versions) Note latest is top right as you look at screen.</p> <p><a href="http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/" rel="nofollow">http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/</a> </p>
