Here's something for those of you who enjoy trying out browsers other than IE. Clarification: I have nothing against IE and I believe that it renders pages beautifully and gives wonderful options to programmers like me, but I love it when people come out with browsers which do pretty much the same without gobbling up all my memory and then crashing. One such browser is the Mozilla Firebird (used to be called Phoenix till April this year). It does tabbed browsing like Opera and big-daddy Mozilla/Netscape, is an extremely light program and renders HTML pretty much the way IE does.( Safari on the Mac is another light browser which renders HTML much faster than IE does) The best feature in Firebird is the address bar which doubles as a Google search bar and takes you to the "I'm feeling lucky" page if you enter search terms. Also, you can search for links in the page by simply clicking anywhere on the screen and typing out letters while the browser highlights the best matching links on the page. It also has a neat popup blocker. These new browsers employ the new philosophy of stripping down browsers instead of loading them with features. IE gives plenty of features but that makes it a heavy and buggy browser. The Firebird and Safari concentrate on giving features that users really need to enhance their web experience. The philosophy doesn't apply to Firebird's parent browser, Mozilla (or Netscape for that matter) which are huge, bulky useless browsers that make browsing a real pain in the you-know-where.
