Take Back The Web

The Mozilla Foundation has released and updated version (1.0.4) of its (really rather good) browser. This version fixes a number of critical security flaws discovered only a week ago. Beat that turn around MS!

I realise this is something of a pet topic for me, but I think it's a cause worth championing, so I’ll take this opportunity to do a little sales pitch.

If anyone isn't already using Firefox, you really should give it a go, it's in a completely different class to IE. Tabbed browsing, smart keywords and an integrated RSS reader in the form of Live bookmarks are great features. Tabbed browsing will wipe out that big list of IE windows on your taskbar that you can't tell which is which. The Live Bookmarks make quickly scanning what's available on blogs and news sites such as the BBC a breeze (you don't realise how much until you've tried). Smart Keywords isn't something I've used very often, but I can see how they would be useful if you did a lot of searches.

I recommend you try it for a week, revolutionise your online life, Reclaim the Web with Firefox!

(They should pay me for this!)
