Weekly Webness - Thunderbird

Last weeks' Webness brought you Firefox. Now here's the email client from Mozilla - Thunderbird. It's easy to install, the connection wizards walk you through setting it up to download your mail from the server - even if you have webmail, such as Gmail or Yahoo! All your mail is saved locally so you can access past emails without having to connect to the internet.
It has a "look and feel" similar to the common email client programs, such as Outlook, so it's easy to understand and easy to use.

Go here to download and give it a try!

Weekly Webness - Firefox ADDONS

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.
