Firefox

In case you are one of the dwindling number of Internet Explorer users out there, take a look at Firefox, the next generation browser.

It is stable, free, light weight but quite complete, and it is virtually immune to the hacks and viruses that plague Internet Explorer.

Modern internet viruses are a plague upon mankind -- well, the Microsoft using part of mankind, others are hardly affected -- so switching to Firefox is a cheap insurance. (Although if you are running on a Microsoft Windows based computer there are other doors for the evil little bugs to get in. Consider exchanging your Outlook for Thunderbird, or even better, switch to Linux or Macintosh.)

So, here is to Firefox: The best browser since sliced bread!

(BTW, sliced bread -- although a better browser than IE -- makes for a lousy user experience since it literally crumbles under heavy load, the peanut butter sticks to the screen and keyboard, and it gets moldy after a only few weeks -- even without viruses. It does go well with SPAM though.)
