How we're rollin'

When we on online for the first time on any PC, this is how we roll. As quoted by UrbanDictionary:
internet explorer
A simple Windows XP tool which allows the user to browse to Mozilla.com and download Firefox, a web browser.
As soon as I installed XP I opened Internet Explorer and grabbed the latest version of Firefox.
 Firefox, simply put, is the best browser out there at the moment. People do like to use Chrome and Safari, they are completely acceptable choices too. So long as less people use Internet Explorer (IE) the better. The main reason Firefox is a lot better is you feel that it's made by people and a community rather than a product like IE. A simple way Firefox has easily done this is by allowing the creation and use of customization. This is done in the form of plugins, themes and addons. You can completely change the UI of the browser while also increasing the functionality.


Some of the plugins I like to use for Firefox:
Ad Block Plus - If you do switch to Firefox, use this plugin. It will save you endless ads and pop ups. One amazing feature is that it can actually disable ads on YouTube videos.
Download Status Bar - This adds a bar at the bottom of the screen once downloads begin within the Firefox window. Also allows you to run from the icon at the bottom or open the folder.
Hide Menu Bar - Thankfully does exactly as it says. You press ALT to show or change the options to mouseover and boosh it's gone.
Invisible Hand - We all link to buy things online. However, when we buy things online we can get lazy and not search for the best deal. So why not let this nifty plugin do it for you! Window Shopper is a choice aswell.
English Dictionary - While technically not being an plugin, this does save me from spelling mistakes.Trolls can be so harsh when you spell "YOU FKCING TAWT!"
And my number one plugin:
StumbleUpon - This is simply one of those things where you try it and you go "That is fantastic." It's completely simple and wonderful in it's use. I'll let the guys who make it, tell you about it:
StumbleUpon helps you discover and share great websites. As you click Stumble!, we deliver high-quality pages matched to your personal preferences. These pages have been explicitly recommended by your friends or one of 8 million+ other websurfers with interests similar to you.
