Ik heb weer eens genoeg van al die advertenties. Steeds meer wordt gedaan met iframes, flash en door websites zelf gehoste en toch vervelende advertenties. Als het nog een beetje subtiel was allemaal, dan zou het niet zo erg zijn. Maar alles beweegt, is groot en aanwezig.
Daarom vanaf heden bij mij weer een actieve userContent.css van FloppyMoose.com.

Er is ook nog een goed alternatief te vinden op de Firefox pagina:

Het betreft dan wel een website, maar een duidelijke groei is zichtbaar.

Voor de rest een interessant artikel het Mozilla Project (grof vertaald m.b.v. Google).

Ik ben weer eens overgestapt op een nieuwe theme in Mozilla. Ik heb deze in het verleden wel eens gebruikt, maar omdat deze toch niet geheel compatibel was, niet meer.

Maar sinds vandaag weer wel. Mooie skin, zeer subtiel. Waarom. Geen kleur. En met werkende icons die worden verhuld in rook als het om een niet actief tab gaat. Erg mooi allemaal.

Ik heb vandaag weer een poging gedaan om Cobind te downloaden. En het is gelukt!
Binnenkort ga ik dus weer eens een linux versie proberen op m'n laptop. Althans, als de systeemeisen niet teveel boven de mogelijkheden van de laptop uitkomen.

Waarom zou je overstappen van IE naar Mozilla (Firefox)? Nou, kijk hier maar.
