The web browser is the ultimate portal to a vast endless amount of information. If you want to know how to deep fry a t-bone, it’s only a click away. If you’re looking for the most effective way of throwing a rock at a garbage can, you can find it. Like most other things, web browsers come in varieties. You have

Firefox

Firefox Pros: Mozilla Firefox installs very quickly and does not require a computer restart. Firefox offers a sleek look combined with speed. Firefox has a huge amount of addons. Addons are much like iPod apps. You can install them and they can do different things. For instance, the “Anycolor” addon allows you to customize your browser. You can turn the basic look (above screenshot) into this.

That’s just one of the thousands of addons of Firefox. A lot of web pages were made with Firefox in mind. Images and words are very clear. Firefox is perfect for bloggers because WordPress features work much more efficiently with it. You can easily drag and drop an image from another tab into a post. Firefox also offers virus scanning on all downloads.

Firefox Cons: Firefox is so good that it’s quite hard to find anything wrong with it. Firefox has no way of editting a web page’s HTML code. This means that Firefox may not be for the more advanced user who wants to mess around with code.

Firefox review

Speed from Google to here: 2 seconds.

Design: 5/5

Quality: 5/5

Internet Explorer

IE Pros: IE also has a new sleek design and many options. With IE you can edit the HTML code of a website.

This often comes in handy while editting CSS. IE was definitely made for the busy soccer mom who needs hundreds of bookmarks. Although IE doesn’t offer a bookmarks toolbar as good as Firefox, bookmarks are within a click away and easy to navigate through.

IE Cons: IE is much more prone to viruses. Windows Police Pro, a rogue anti-spyware virus, is known to disguise itself as IE. Our computer was infected with this virus after installing IE, so I know from experience. IE is much slower than Firefox, and IE addons are nowhere near those of it’s. IE freezes up much more than Firefox, and having more than one tab open at a time slows it down even more.

IE Review

Speed from Google to here: 7 seconds.

Design: 4.5/5

Quality: 3/5

The final verdict.

Although IE gives a sleeker look, there is no competition. Firefox is the obvious winner here. Firefox dominates in the addon department, design, speed, and quality.

So what’s your favorite browser – Firefox or IE? Or maybe you’re a Safari type of person. Eh.

Today just felt like an image editting kind of day. I made AfrObama,

and Kaka Colorsplash,

Editting images is really fun. The best part is seeing the finished product and reading appreciative comments. I think I’ll continue to do an occasional photoshop for a post every now and then.

Which pic is your favorite?

Barack Obama is the current president of the United States, for those who didn’t know. I really wanted to Photoshop someone, and I decided it was gonna be him. Check out my video, AfroBama:
