Well I finaly got around to checking out FireFox web browser and it is great! I saw a article in a magazine that talked about Foxfire portable that you can install on a usb flash drive. So I installed it on my thumb drive and brought it to work tonite to try out and I love it, I'm going to install it on my laptop at home.
It also has some good side effects from being installed on the usb drive. (That Devin might be interested in.) All surfing history is kept on the thumb drive not the computer. Also the main reason I tried this out at work is I found out it will let me bypass my company's web blocking software. Now I can go to sites that are blocked like for bad language, and other reasons. I did not get it to surf porn at work! (I do that at home :wink: ) The software they use is very random, sites like CRXHQ, Honda-Tech, Audible.com (audio book site), Miniclips.com (game site) and all Vegas casino sites were blocked.
You can also add different extentions to add functionality like I added one that tells me at the bottom of the browser when I get email in my Yahoo account and another one that gives me current and forcasted weather.
Here's the link for FireFox Portable if any one wants to try it out.
