The IE8 on my laptop doesn’t work. When I try to enter a site address and press enter. It doesn’t navigate to the page.

So, Safari 4 for PC for me! :D

If you haven’t figured it out by now (old article and all, I randomly found this page by google), there’s a ton of keyboard shortcuts you can use to ease surfing.

ctrl+T : new tab
ctrl+shift+T : open last closed tab (practicle when you close a tab you didn’t intend to)
ctrl+L : go to adress bar
ctrl+tab : next tab
ctrl+shit+tab : previous tab
ctrl+[number] : goes to tab #[what was type] (only useful up to 10 tabs, though)

You can also customize by a whole lot Firefox, which you can’t do with IE. I personally added Download Statusbar, Clear Fields, No Script, Save Session, Stop Autoplay, Tab Catalog (highly recommended when you have alot of tabs to surf through), GreaseMonkey scripts, Stylish and Toolbar Buttons which adds a whole bunch of useful toolbar buttons to the list.

I’d give a description of every one of them, but that would probably be unnecessary. I’ll let you discover them.

Go to options>contents>fonts&color to make your font look better in firefox. Firefox pwns IE and always will. (but Chrome is better than the both of them combined)

As a web developer I have encountered FireFox having trouble in the past properly displaying web content. I have had to go through hoops to get it to work properly in that browser. Also, IE is so much more capable in terms of what you can do programatically in it. Just my 2 cents worth.

Every thing you said is Ok.
But one of the best feature in FF is Customization.
you can create FF as you wanted to see it.

So you cant say that its not good, FF is BEST. and Its Rocks

Mike M: My posts won’t get longer and thinner because I’ll be using more width in a 3-column layout! ;) So the size of the entire blog will be wider.

kein: You mean the picture I posted? Yeah, but now I think I’ll be looking out for something with both sidebars on the right side. As Wee pointed out, it’s friendlier for mobile surfers.

The 3 column layout looks good : )
