Browsering - surfing thourgh the browsers

I’m doing this blog beacuase I spend lots of time in a broswer.

Now I’m not going to just do a “review” of a browser.” Your all smart enough to do that on your own. Rather I’ll talk about some extensions, hacks, features, tweeks etc. Just try to give people some more info about a program they use… Another way to look at this is a podcast for power users.
The browsers I will be talking about will be.

-Firefox

*What most people use.
*Free
*Community development
*Very hackable if you are an expert or above average web user.
*First real browser to take a swing at IE other than Netscape.
*Faster than IE.
*More secure than IE.

-Opera

*BitTorrent built in
*Fast as hell.
*RSS feeds built in.
*Recently became free.
*Making an attempt to grow a real community.

-Flock

*The newest / youngest kid on the block.
*The younger brother to Firefox… because it is based off FF.
*a great browser if you do several blogs, and all ready play with some services.
*Bloggin built in — WordPress.com
*Flickr built in –to the blog thing.
*del.icio.us built in.
*Still in a dev release so still buggy.

-Safari

*The browser for Apple’s OS X.
*Has built in RSS.

- Konqueror

*A browser that comes on lots of Linux boxes.

-IE

*This is now in beta testing for developers.
-The PSP browser (if I ever get a PSP.)

Also because a browser is really nothing with out a web to browse I will also talk about aspects of the web on the show as well.
