Firefox - the future of browsing

Written by Bogdan Voicu

A lot of repparttar

work I do at AntBiz Consulting involves wandering around repparttar 118505

web in search for new ideas for web promotion and web design.

I accidentally went today to this website: www.SpreadFirefox.com

Yes, I did get there by accident (seen a button on one of Mishoo's sites - my best friend) and wanted to know what it is about. I cannot believe repparttar 118506 community that has been created since repparttar 118507 first time I used Firefox :)

I use FireFox (Thanks to Mishoo, either) since it was at version 0.8 and I have to say that I am more than happy with this browser.

But, let's take it step by step.

1. What is FireFox?

Well, according to my knowledge Firefox is an open source Internet (Web) Browser. Well, if you wonder what an internet browser is, you really need to download and use this. Why? Because I'm sure you are using a very flawed one that is already built in your Operating System, which is almost sure a version of Windows.

2. Why choose FireFox?

Well, first and most of all maybe, it is a hell of a great browser and it is free. I will tell you repparttar 118508 story of me choosing Firefox: "About one or two years ago some problems started to really annoy me: Pop-up windows on my monitor, weird behaviour from my OS (windows, of course). I was sure that I had some kind of virus - spyware and adware, actually - but everytime I got rid of it, a new one appeared, or those that should have dissapeared appeared again. Well, repparttar 118509 only way of being sure that you have no viruses that I know is keeping your computer shut down. I should have done this, but a man's gotta eat sometimes, isn't it? :) Well, then I chose repparttar 118510 next best thing: Linux Operating System, RedHat 9 at repparttar 118511 time, to be more precise. Unfortunately, one of my clients needed something done in windows and I had to go back to that infamous Operating System. This time, yet, I didn't want to be surfing and getting all kind of spyware and adware, I wanted to get rid of pop-up windows, I wanted to have a free taskbar (I use to open 20-30 websites at one time), I wanted something that I could modify and add functionality to my needs. The solution? Of course, FireFox."

Probably most of you have repparttar 118512 same problem (I heard that windows put a pop-up blocker in their windows XP sp2, but I don't think that will do any better, anyway, as their browser SUCKS!!!!). Well, why not download FireFox then and give it a shot.

3. Firefox Advantages

Well, this is where I have a big problem: I don't know where to start. :) Let's see repparttar 118513 advantages in repparttar 118514 order I needed at repparttar 118515 time: ·I just mentioned repparttar 118516 above Pop-Up Blocker, a great customizable one, that really kept me away from adware and spyare, as from that annoying pop-up windows with ads that had a powerful sound that scared repparttar 118517 hell out of me at night when I was working. :( ·Tabbed browsing: I am able to open as many tabs as I want in a window. Imagine, you have three subjects of interest: open first instance with 10 tabs about that subject, open repparttar 118518 instance with 7 tabs about second subject and so on. You don't have to look for every window in a 30 windows stack. Trust me, it is a good time saver. ·Toolbar Search: I use Google a lot. Well, I have it in my bar, at a press of a key. It is repparttar 118519 same with Ebay, Amazon and IMDB, sites that I search around without having to actually enter repparttar 118520 address. There are a lot more to choose, but these are repparttar 118521 ones that I need. Oh, Yahoo, too :) ·Themes: Did you get tired of repparttar 118522 same colours? Choose in about 100 themes available or create you own! yes, you can create your own theme. As an example, I use Little Fox theme, which leaves me a lot of free space on my screen, as it uses small icons and fonts. ·Extensions: Now, this is something so good, that I will make a new subchapter for it. ·CSS compliant: Well, for those that are interested, CSS in FireFox looks exactly like repparttar 118523 way it is intended to look. Those that don't understand, don't need to :) ·Plugins: Flash, Javascript, any plugin you need. Easy to install and use. ·Mozilla ThunderBird: It is repparttar 118524 email client that pairs with FireFox. My default mail manager, actually. A great one, you should download that too. ·Included Download Manager.
