Firefox and Deepest Sender are superior to IE7

November 7th, 2006 | Posted in blog 4 Comments »

I’ve been somewhat of a latecomer to Firefox. Earlier versions of the browser seemed to load content more slowly than IE. But Firefox 2.0, esp. with the Fasterfox extension, loads content much faster than IE7. Plus, one of the best benefits of the Firefox browser is the Deepest Sender extension. This extension makes posting to your blog much, much easier. All you do is click a button on your browser, and a dialog box pops up that interfaces remotely with your blog. There are many more extensions too — I just really like Firefox now.

If you haven’t used Firefox, you’re missing out. See http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ to download it.

I’ve been a Firefox junkie for about a year now. It’s been a great web development assistant — a couple of the extensions are an immense help while designing and debugging websites. I use CodeTech every day, and I just added an FTP client extension so I can FTP directly from my browser.

Thanks for the post; it prompted me to upgrade to 2.0, and you’re right, it’s leaner and meaner than the 1.x versions!

I’ll have to check out those extensions. Do you use the Deepest Sender extension to post to your blog? What other extensions do you recommend?

By the way, is there any particular reason for renaissance interest?

I haven’t used Deepest Sender yet, but once I set up the new blog I will definitely give it a try.

Oh, and “Renaissance Geek” was my attempt at a spin on “Renaissance Man” — I’m interested in so many different things that it seemed apropos.

The new blog will change names, though, to “A Spork in the Road.” Details to follow.

I found a page listing all Firefox extensions. It’s quite impressive: http://www.econsultant.com/i-want-firefox-extension/index.html
