Browsing things

Browsing 1940s style

I'm using the reflection week of the programme to catch up on a few things that I haven't had the time to explore. And so this afternoon has found me trying out different browsers.

I have to admit that up until this point I have been very set in my ways and have got so used to Internet Explorer that I rarely try anything else. However, I have been pleasantly surprised. All the links to the introductory guides and videos for the different browsers were really helpful and I tried out the various tasks successfully.

One of the most useful things was, ironically, not to do with browsers as such but was the Windows 7 snap feature that allows you to have to windows open at the same time. I hadn't made use of this before but will be doing so from now on.

I used Google Chrome at home and  liked the feel of this browser and the tab feature and the bookmarks bar so much so that I may consider moving over to this at work.
