Firefox is not for me
After all this time I decided to try out Firefox, an alternative browser to Internet Explorer. And now I decided to leave it aside again. In nutshell, I liked some very nice extensions that could be used with Firefox, like Tabbrowser Preferences (to make pages open by default in tabs), Forecast Fox (to show 4 day forecast and current weather in lower right corner), User Agent Switcher (to actually allow my to view my school's intranet, a stone in IT department's cabbage yard), Sage (to view RSS pages).
But negative overweighs it all - this browser happens to take every once in a while 100% of my computer's processor, which while working on battery means halving of running time. And also, the browser is not as fancy without extensions, so to make it nice one needs to tweak a bit. Microsoft promised to come up with tabbed browsing in IE7, a beta of which comes out in the middle of this year. I'll stick with this solution for now.

Have you tried Opera?
Its mouse gestures are the best feture. Not to mention good spee, low on resources and many other nice small, convenient features.
