Opera is bloatware and from what I heard more about it I'm not going to like it at all. And I'm very happy with firefox so if it's not really possible I'm not going to do anything.
Thanks for the help anyway! |

I started using Firefox the other day. The thing I find about it is you need a large number of plugins before you can actually do much. Is there a way to just download a giant plugin, which covers everything?

That's what firefox is about. It's as lightweight as you want. I haven't heard of any packages that have a lot of plugins in it

EDIT: If you mean plugins as in Flash Player, Acrobat Reader, Quicktime, et al, you need them in every other browser I know of aswell, it's just IE installs software on request without asking or telling you. Quote:

Ok, I've done a bit of testing, and the Adblock Extension seems to be quite good. It is designed to do exactly what you want, and it doesn't seem to have the problems some of the earlier versions did. I use the bottom build of it on that page... I like to avoid the icon version, because the statusbar icon is annoyingly large. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I use the following filter for it: code:[Adblock][/QUOTE]Which seems to block everything I've come across, except for valid images. [img]smile.gif[/img] To use it, save that into a text file and import it through AdBlock's prefences dialogue. |
