Last week's Webness linked you to Firefox. Now I'll recommend the customizations, if you haven't tried them out already.
Their Addons page offers hundreds of additional features, from Greasemonkey (a script processor, so you can add little "scripts" to customize the way Firefox displays data) to customizations of Firefox, to ad-blockers.
I highly recommend at least adding Ad-block Plus (don't forget to select a "list" when you're prompted to when you install this one.) It'll block popup ads and banner ads on websites for you as you're browsing. Neat, huh?
You can also add Themes (changes the look of Firefox and the buttons) and make your browser look the way you want it to. Check it out!

Weekly Webness - Firefox
Want a new browser? Want to customize your "browsing experience"? The Firefox browser from Mozilla has loads of options - some included, such as Tabbed Browsing, and pages and pages and pages of add-ons. Check it out. You'll be glad you did.

Weekly Webness - ROFLRazzi
And the last of the "LOLpics" sites, still owned by the nice folks at "I can has cheezburger": ROFLRazzi.
This site uses pictures of celebs and well-known figures (sometimes fictional, sometimes cartoon, but usually at least recognizable) and gives them "LOL captions". Some are humorous, some are pointed, and some can be just flat-out mean.
Usually they're funny, if you're bent that way, but occasionally...not.

April Fools from Google!
Google's April Fools' Prank this year: Gmail Autopilot. It purports to be able to read and respond to your incoming emails just as you'd respond, using some variation of ELIZA.
They've also linked up another page: CADIE. Very well done, Google.
Gadzooks, they even gave CADIE a homepage and a Youtube channel.

Weekly Webness - I Can Haz Cheezburger?
If you like pictures of cute cats doing strange things, and you like captions on those pictures, check out I Can Has Cheezburger. Appalling grammar and spelling, but you can usually figure out what they're saying. And sometimes, they have incredibly clever ones...like this:
