What Internet Browser is best

Mac users have a choice from 4 main browsers even though there are many more. There is Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Camino. All of these browsers are great and only vary slightly. I'll start of with my favorite browser, Mozilla Firefox. Mozilla Firefox Has support for Add-ons which some of are incredible, and though it is not the fastest it still is fast. Next on my list is Safari. Safari comes standard on all macs now and is the fastest internet browser for macs too. It is a simple browser which can be good and bad. If you are a small internet user who just uses their web browser to do small things, I think Safari is the best option for you. Next, is Opera. Like Safari, Opera is a fast browser but unlike Safari, it is not simple at all. There are Add-On Gadget things that you can download and use but are nothing like Firefox's. Opera is a great backup browser and for some people a great browser. Lastly, there is Camino. I don;t see the point of Camino. It is supposed to be a Mozilla based browser or in other words it is supposed to be like Firefox but it has no support for Add-ons that I know about. I think if you are using Camino, Tryout a different browser and think about why you are using Camino. Some say it is faster than Firefox and takes up less CPU/RAM and I agree, but so does Safari and Opera.

How to: Get firefox 3

The new version of firefox has some great new features. First, open up your browser and type in firefox.com. Once the page loads, slick download and the download will start. When the download is finished, if on a mac, open up the .dmg file and then drag the application into the applications folder. If on a PC, open the .exe file and run the installer. Once installed, you may delete the .dmg, the disk image file, and/or the .exe file(s).

Flv Download helper

The next tip only works if you have Firefox. First, go here and download the downloadhelper. What this does is it takes the video in a website and t downloads it onto your desktop. The only problem is that it is in an flv format. To convert it I suggest freeflvconverter for a PC and for a mac, iSquint
Once you have it downloaded, go to a site that has a streaming movie and the three balls fill start moving around. Then you click on it and download it. I suggest a website like tv-links.cc or tv-links.eu but anything with streaming video will work. youtube.com will work well too. Once you have it downloaded, you will use a converter to make it the format you want. I will post a Youtube video soon because this theory is a little bit confusing.
Please post responses if your need any help or if you would like to comment.
