cool download for browser

I am finding this VERY!!! interesting and helpful when I don't know an acronym or if I just want to see a multitude of photos of any particular search item weather it be aquarium related or not. I google a ton and now I find myself using this more often. Not sure if I can post a link here or not but one can just find the download by google searching it. It is called "Cool Iris" and it runs as an add on in your browser. I use firefox and not sure how it works with other browsers. I have noticed that once downloaded you will see the icon pop up in the lower corner of photos on a page when the pointer is scrolled over the photo and if you click on the icon it will actually display larger and with more clarity (even allowing a zoom in option) than the actual hosting page and it has a cool wall and window effect. VERY helpfull and highly reccomeded IMO.

 

I use a mac and have used mozilla firefox for 2 years since purchasing. My cousin/ roomate used to use IE. He recently dumped it and says it is much faster.

 

If I am not mistaken you can d/l firefox as a second browser and use it instead of internet explorer. I believe it is a smaller file and uses far less resources speeding up things and making browsing faster. I have had no troubles with it although I am using a Mac Which are less prone to freeze ups and such. Both mozilla/firefox and cool iris were recomended by an avid p/c user.

 

I've used Firefox. It's a great browser, but I prefer IE.

 

Strange..
But I just went there and it said..

IE6, IE7 or IE8..
Unless they just came out with it..
IE8, being the Beta, I guess..

I am not sure what the deal is but I have seen it run and install on both I/E and Firefox. Perhaps a little more digging is involved? I just looked into it a little, go to the support tab. There are options for I/E, Firefox, and Safari downloads.

Here is a link to that page. I hope this is allowed and of help.

I got it for IE. Thanks. Pretty cool.

 

Even faster than firefox is the Opera Browser...I will stick with I.E. though...but if speed is your bag Opera is the way to go....

I am using IE 8. I believe it is out of Betta.

 

Hey Unclejed,
when you upgraded to IE8 did you lose your favorite places..?
Or did they stay as were..??
I'll hate to lose mine..

Thanks Larry
