Browsing Done Right

One of the problems with using a browser that has a built in Google search bar, is that you don't get to see the holiday logos that Google uses to spruce up their search page. For instance, today Google celebrated Ray Charles' birthday (if you missed it, there's an archive).

Now, if that's not the worst thing you can say about your browser, then it's time to switch. Mac OS X users who have clung to Internet Explorer are suffering needless pain and frustration. Use Safari instead. It's already installed. Trust me, it's great.

Or try Firefox. Our PC friends should check it out too. Tabbed windows, pop-up ad blocking, better security, etc., all spell hassle-free browsing. But wait, what's this? Rumor has it, Google may be constructing their own browser as well. Hmmm.

Bottom line, there are plenty of non-IE options available, including the text-only lynx. Heh, I'm kidding. But hey, just for fun, here's how the smokerblog looks in lynx:

Spiffy, eh?
