    Who's using it?

    I have been on and off since the Beta and I'm digging it. I just downloaded another extension. it's a cool spell checker that works really well it even lets me spell colour correctly :)

    Here is the link to the Spell Checker

    My Fav aspect of it is the ctrl click to open a new tab for a link. It's a great feature when cruising though 3Reef as I can go to the home page and open each new thread and they will open in the background.
    Anyone else have a trick or feature they like?

    I downloaded it just so I had a browser that reads what netscapes does. Web pages look different on every browser. Firefox doesn't read scrollbar colors and has a real problem with some other CSS scripts. Personally it is actually quite limiting in its capabilities, but it is very fast and has some nice features, as you pointed out Jason. I do like the tabbing concept...very cool!!

    The powers that be have been touting its "safety"...that is only because it is not as widespread as IE...once on the market long enough the hackers will crack it too!! You cannot frustrate as many people hacking into smaller browsers and OSes as you can by discovering new ways to mess up IE and/or Windows.

    So I just downloaded a add on called Scrap book. It allows you to archive important pages. Very cool.

    Jason,

    I'm currently using Opera, which seems to have a good number of features including email built into the browser. I have downloaded the Firefox product and will try it soon :)
