Internet Tools
Ah, the Internet. What would we be without it? There is now talk of living your entire computing life
through the browser—your data, your applications, everything will eventually be online.
Internet Explorer 7
By introducing tabbed browsing, IE 7 came back into a game that was quickly being taken over by
alternative browsers, and is no longer frowned upon with as much asperity.
Firefox 3
Firefox is the second most widely used browser ever, thanks to its near-unlimited extensibility and that
wonderful feeling of being able to stick it to the big M.
