Rediscover the web with a different browser: Firefox

The Mozilla project launched a couple of days ago the newest version of its browser Firefox (formerly known as Firebird). It's fast as hell (way faster than IE, and it's not just my own perception of it), provides pop-up blocking, tabbed-browsing, which is a thing I can't live without and has awesome add-ons such as AdBlock.
About the browser, I can't really recommend it enough... specially because of its amazing rendering speed, not to mention that its memory footprint is lower than its bigger brother Mozilla, and that it's way more secure than IE to use. Also, about AdBlock, I don't see any more flash adds, annoying animated ads and so on. It takes a while to configure it since you have to manually tell what content you'd like to block and from which servers, but once you've done that, browsing feels soooo much better! 
Firefox also runs in Mac OS X if anybody's interested, even though its speed is not as fast as its Windows counterpart. It feels a little faster than Safari 1.2, though.
