This one is for those of you who have not yet embraced Mozilla's great browser Firefox. Firefox is designed for speed and security and i can assure you once you experience the power of fifefox you'll not try anything else again. Yes, the new browser from Microsoft, Internet Explorer 7 has introduced some good features besides mimicking Firefox's Tabbed Interface but it still sucks when it comes to speed. IE7 gets frustratingly slow if you open up a few tabs. Besides, firefox is having some great add-ons(out of hundreads of add-ons available) that you would just love.
Few of my favourite ones are:
Cooliris Previews: This add-on allows you to preview links on a page, i.e., you can view pages pointed to by the links on the current page, directly inside your current page without leaving it.
IE Tab: Some sites render properly only in IE and they would have imperfect appearance in Firefox(experienced this with MSDN site a lot). Now we have a great add-on called IE Tab that embeds IE directly in the firefox tabs. In effect IE's rendering engine is used for the sites you would like to open in IE.
FoxMarks: Take your bookmarks wherever you go.
Finally, if you are a web developer Firebug is indispensable.
Folks, don't miss this great experience anymore...go and install Firefox.
