Browsers

Another recent conversation was on the subject of internet browsers and the pitfall that is Microsoft's Internet Explorer, the browser that most scripts are designed to invade. I was absolutely astounded by the number of people that are unaware that there are alternatives out there that work well and cost nothing but a small amount of time to download. Firefox is probably the most popular alternative, an open source product from Mozilla, it is based on the old Netscape concept, without all the Nutscrape problems. It is powerful, stable, and and completely customizable, with several hundred custom add ons. Another alternative is Opera, which is the browser I use normally, though not as flexible as Firefox with the custom options, it does have a decent amount of add on widgets if you feel the need, and it is a bit faster than Firefox. There are other open source alternatives out there, I have tried a few, the only two that I would reccomend to someone else are the two I have linked in this post. Their free, they work, and you should be using one.
