Nov. 16th, 2004 03:55 pmJust testing out the Deepest Sender tool in Firefox.
I had to switch to Firefox because last night, I visited a very bad site, which, without asking me at all, installed a slew of annoying and obnoxious adware on my machine. I was looking for a free font editor, clicked the link, and BOOM -- malicious install on my computer. It took David and I several hours to clean it up. Very annoying. And that was the end of my using Internet Exploiter. I prefer a number of things about its interface, but damn it, you can drive a Mac truck through the security holes, even with Service Pack II. Gawd-awful.
So, I'm getting used to Firefox, and would recommend it to friends... the extensions available are very cool, and I like that it's open-source. If only because if a security hole is discovered, there'll be 100 patches for it the next day, instead of Micro$oft claiming it's all fine, go about your business, etc. Dumb.
Anyway, Deepest Sender is pretty cool.
And here's a bonus picture of Sophia for reading this far:
