If you use Firefox for your browser (and, trust me, you should.... or any browser other than the MS version of Internet Explorer that probably came on your computer) you know that there is a plethora (literally) of "plug-ins" available for that browser. You can change everything if you want to; or nothing. But there are a few that you should consider. Two I like are: 1. Ghostery allows you to block many of the "tracking" systems that are so common now. You can block Google tracking (perhaps the most pervasive) or tons more.... all selectable. 2. Cool Previews. I generally stay away from anything labeled "cool" but this caught my attention. As handy as tabbed browsing is, Cool Previews makes it even handier. By just mousing over an icon next to a link on a web page you can quickly bring up a small version of that web page to see if it's pertinent to your search or needs. I was somewhat skeptical of this but a friend recommended it and I have found it remarkably useful. Obligatory paddling blurb..... jeez I can't think of any. :P Craig Jungers Moses Lake, WA *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
