<p>what i do:
1. go to CC forums.
2. go to college search & selection
3. run down the list and middle click any and all topics that sound interesting (middle click opens them in a new backround tab.
4. repeat for college admissions, college chances, college life, HS life, and any other sub forums that interest me.
5. when i get done, i will have like 20-30 tabs each as its own topic of interest.
6. then i just go through each tab, read it, and reply or delete as i choose.</p>
<p>MUCH easier than going down the list of each sub-forum, finding topics of interest, reading and replying, going back, finding other topics, going back to other sub-forums, repeating, etc.
<p>Currently using tabs and this is what I have open:</p>
<p>1.) APA Style site to make sure I don't screw up my references for the paper I'm writing (in Word, another window).
2.) Facebook for procrastination
3.) College Confidential for procrastination
4.) Local news site to check every 30 minutes or so to see if Coach Mac resigned yet...waiting for that moment. Also used for procrastination.</p>
<p>I can't really put my finger on why Firefox is better...all I remember about why I switched is I wanted to watch a movie and it wouldn't play on Safari but the site said it would play on Firefox so I loaded Firefox. A few minutes later, I had already forgotten what site I was at and what the movie was about (just a random thing i saw) so I never watched it. But I like Firefox.</p>
<p>Most browsers, except IE6 have basically all of the same features that the average person would want in their browser, so the main reason that I like firefox the best, is because it has extensions. Here you can download extensions that other people made to customize firefox to your liking.</p>
<p>For instance, I use the mouse gestures extension which lets me control functions such as going back or forward with a simple mouse movement (so much more convenient and cool!). There is literally an extension to serve practically any purpose you could dream of for your firefox.</p>
<p>The computer lab at my school upgraded to IE 7, so I went to play with it. I don't like the interface at all! They should have stuck with IE 6's interface and just bulked up the security and made a popup ad blocker standard.</p>
<p>I switched to IE7 and I actually don't mind the new interface. Tabbed browsing is all right I guess (I never liked Firefox and never switched to it), but I like to be able to "alt-tab" through my windows and I can't figure out how to do that with tabs which is annoying me right now.</p>
