Heya peeps, are you still using Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) browser?
Well from my visitors logs it seems about 60% of you all are.
I’m asking the above question as I truly recommend you all to try out Mozilla’s Firefox.
So I’ve nothing but praises for it so far.
I’ve long abandoned Internet Explorer for a few years now.
When I was using IE previously I’ve nothing but troubles, slow loading times and couple of errors. I just hate the error popup that came out each time.
Maybe it’s just my computer, but the bottom line, I’ve not had the best of experience with IE browsers.
Now I heard that the new IE7 is trying mimic Firefox.
Imagine that, that’s how good Firefox is folks.
It’s just that users are too lazy to change for a better browser, always thinking Microsoft is ‘safe’. Come on try Firefox, it’s definitely better!
So if you have yet to download Firefox, do so from the below button! It’s FREE
Comparing IE to Firefox, the latter loads web pages faster and is very flexible.
When I mean flexible, I’m referring to the add-on modules extension that can be easily install/uninstall.
Modules that can save you time, help you on your web stuff, etc.
Now I want to share a couple of my favorite extensions below
