Mozilla Firefox is fantastic, and I have secretly replaced IE with it on all the PC’s at work (part of its customizability is the ability to use skins; in this case I use an IE lookalike skin that fools most semi-computer-literate users). For us Mac users who adore Safari, though, there are plugins out there for it that do what the Firefox plugins do. Click here to try a few.

Sounds cool. I’ll have to try it one of these days. At work, I actually have a good pop-up blocker. I think it’s Symantic. Word.

Flattered, Evan.

Furl is great. I have two work computers (two jobs) and two home computers (a mac and a pc) and bookmarks are useless.

Also, you don’t want to bookmark every interesting thing you read–only those you’re going to access regularly. I wouldn’t bookmark this blog post, but I will furl it.

Take it easy, all.

The big difference between Safari and Firefox is the extensions. Safari does almost everything right, but if you want it to do something else, all you can do is beg Apple to roll it in. Firefox can be extended in every which way, and it manages the extensions very well, allowing you to update and uninstall easily. Poke around Mozilla Update to see how you might want to browse in the future.

I’ve been a Safari fanatic ever since it came out. How does Firefox stack up?

Try my extension called “LookAhead”. It opens a variable number of tabs with the URLs corresponding to the search string you enter in the Search Bar in the upper right of the browser.

I think it’s worth trying!
