Most people use IE to surf the web. You may or may not know that another browser called FireFox is another really great browser with lots of add-ins. IE now has a number of add-ins that a person may find to be valuable. Here is an article from Computer World that may interest some of you.
Awesome Add-Ins
February 13, 2008 (Computerworld) A browser by itself is a poor thing, letting you browse the Web, but little else. To get the most out of the Web, you need add-ins that give your browser plenty of extra features.
Firefox is well known for its plug-ins, but there aren't as many available for Internet Explorer. Still, you needn't feel left out in the cold. In fact, there are plenty of add-ins for IE as well.
In this article, I'll clue you in to my favorite Internet Explorer add-ins. I'll ignore the obvious ones, such as the Google Toolbar, Yahoo Toolbar or Windows Live Toolbar, because you probably already know about them. Instead, I'll concentrate on lesser-known ones that do everything from killing annoying ads, to restoring crashed browsing sessions, to grabbing video from sites like YouTube and more. Better yet, everyone one of them is free.

Tired of being besieged by ads, including exceedingly annoying Flash ads? Then you'll want the free Quero Toolbar, which includes a very good and customizable ad blocker. It will block just about any ad you'll come across, including banner ads, Flash animations and many others, including Google ads.

I found out about Firefox a few years ago from our computer guy at work and love it. That's all I use at home.
A new version of Firefox is about to be released. It is version 3 but it is still in beta and has a few bugs. I understand there will be a beta 4 before the final release. I like the current version of Firefox so the next one should be really good!!
