We'll probably be changing our browser over to Yahoo or something else, heck may try Mozilla [img][/img]</end quote></div>
Yahoo doesn't have a browser...They have a website and portal to email they provide, but you will still have to use Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Avant, or something like that as the actual web browser...
I highly suggest Firefox. After you install the main browser program there are a ton of little Ad-ons you have available to install into the browser. All kinds of games, tools, dictionaries, and most important ad blockers, etc.
The two main ad-ons I install first is Adblock Plus and Flashblock. Those two ad-ons will block all the popups and annoying flash ads that litter the sites like this one. When I bring up this forum, I do not see any of the banners or flash ads, which eat my bandwidth and generally intrude in the middle of my page loading. Flashblock stops flash videos from loading and playing automatically. It just puts up a little play button so if it's a video I want to see, like on youtube, so I click on that and then it allows the video to load and play. MUCH less crap on my pages. JMHO...Have fun.
