I noticed improvements.

And if you don't have Firefox, you better get it.

I also noticed it fu**** up some sites for me.

Thanks Dyne.

Now images that should be things like a Red "X" are now pictures that are on the opposite side of the page.

It didn't do a whole lot for me, but I've got a pretty fast connection and haven't had much trouble.

Still, a good find.

There might be a slight difference. Or I could just be looking so hard I'm making it up.

So basically, if there is an improvement, its not terribly drastic.

On an unrelated side note: Don't you hate it when you have a word, and you know how to spell it, but it just doesn't simply look like the right way to spell it, even though it is? I just had that with "terribly." That does NOT look right, but I confirmed it at dictionary.com to be the correct spelling...

Ah well....

*also finds it annoying when unrelated side notes are longer than the actual post*


*shrugs and walks away*

Aren't you on 56k, though? This trick only works for broadband.

Ok. Well, for some people, it only works on particular pages. If it's going SLOWER.. Maybe you're just hallucinating.

It's good to see everyone using Firefox.

I like Firefox because it's so customizable. I see it overtaking IE in 5 years.

Ask a 10 year old kid what "Netscape" is.

IE is the new Netscape.
