because google needs to be Capped Google.
same with internet...needs to be Internet

MacGyver I use FireFox browser with several added extensions I just installed the Google toolbar and haven't noticed any difference in the speed but like I said most of the toolbar is shut off

I tried Firefox and abandoned IE, Netscape, Opera and Safari forever. I have stopped all the animation that annoyed me (no blinking icons on Sundance), blocked about 95% of the advertising (stuff in the site normally, not pop-ups as they are automatically gone.) I click on an ad, right click, tell it to permmanently hide it and no matter what is in that place is gone forever.

FireFox 2.0 is almost ready to be released, its free and it has plug-ins to do just about everything.

Hey Tom,

Can't we ban members that block the advertising?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

...Just kidding Bunnie!

:toothy:

So I can literally download it and replace IE forever? For free? Are you sure there isn't some way to charge for this that we don't see?

I like the idea, but since my credit card information has been scooped up twice this year, I am skittish.

Anyway, is Firefox pretty much the same thing as IE with regard to being a search tool? Does anyone have any bad input to offer or should I just bite the bullet and do it?

If I start using it and decide to go back to IE, will it be one of those things like AOL where it never goes away until you do an FDisk?

Help me here, I am not really strong on computers but I would like to take a walk on the wild side as long as I can make it back alive.

I've been firefox for almost 2 years now. Never had any negative issues. IE is still loaded and sits dormant. In answer to your question ED, you can try it without it trying you. It is definately not like AOL which I despised every time I heard someone mention it.

Yep Ed, you can download it, use it, try it out, whatever and still leave IE on your system. They do not interfere with each other on my machines.

I keep IE on mine because on rare occasions I find sites that will not work on firefox but they will work on IE. Something to do with macro flash or sumthin' like that.

As far as I know Fdisk went away when Windows 98 died. I know I can only get XP to do what it calls a "clean install" in place of Fdisk. But in my mind it's not as good as Fdisk.

Ed Firefox works great the tab browser is the best way to view forum pages I only had problems with it interfering with Netscape but not IE

Bobby theres and extension that lets you view pages in IE mode while still in Firefox you can set default for those pages to IE so next time it will switch automaticly

Also, Firefox can be uninstalled completely if you wish. No charge at all, not anywhere near the security holes as IE, and in my opinion much more stable. There's only 2 or 3 sites I need to go to that won't work with it, for those I use the IE extension.

Well, I just switched over to Firefox on my home PC and so far, so good. Looks pretty cool. Merritt, where do I get those good Graemlins that you use?
