Everybody should be using Firefox, rather than other dodgy browsers.
Why? Well, there’s a couple of decent reasons:
- Better security – gets rid of popups and avoids spyware
- Faster – a lean browsing experience
- Standards Compliant – because these things really do matter
Apart from all of that is the good support for RSS: this is a mechanism for keeping up to date with web pages that update their content regularly. It’s easy for RSS software to determine if there’s any new exciting content for you to browse, and you can easily glance through what’s available to see if it interests you.
In the case of Firefox there is a built-in RSS tool – simply click on the icon in the bottom-right of the window and select the “Add RSS feed” option, and you’ll get a special bookmark folder that contains links to all the new articles.
Alternatively, you can get a Firefox extension called “Sage” which allows you to collect lots of RSS feeds and check all of them to see what’s got new stuff to look at.
As a final bonus you’ll find that this page itself has an RSS feed so you’ll never have to come here only to be disappointed – you can just check to see if there’s anything new!
