google toolbar, updated with a spell checker

for those of you wishing you had a spell checker in here, the new version of the Google toolbar has one built it, and it works well.

Maybe our resident drunk monkeys should check it out too..*cough* ivan *cough*

Oh, if you have a mac..you suck, so don't even bother, it's windoze only.

If you use firefox, here's an extension to add spell checking to your browser.

Kewl! My Comcast's been down for almost two days and they can't figure out why. Some genius this morning decided maybe the Gateway modem was toast, and they should come out and look at it.

If you have a mac, you have an excellent browser that has a spellchecker plug in, so you dont have to bother with more silly add ons that are going to do nothing other than freeze your computer like a raspberry smoothie at baskin-robbins

So, if you have a pee-cee AKA Gates Box, AKA Wintel machine, you may not suck, because most of you dont, but your cheesy web browser does (unless its NOT called I.E.)

And BTW..... firefox is an amazing browser, for Mac, Linux, or X86 (windows) I suggest those of you using IE try it, its free, and a small download, I believe it even exports the evil microsofts browsers bookmarks...

You're right Kevin, it does import the existing bookmarks from that evil browser. And there's so many other extensions to add functionality to do most anything you'd want.

Been using firefox for a few months now, I love the tab feature to open links and keep reading the original document! It is so much faster than IE on my computer.

Do you use tabbrowser extensions? Gives a lot more control over how tabs behave.

I don't think so since I am not sure what you are talking about. I have never had trouble with my tabs misbehaving. Maybe I will have to keep a closer eye on them now!

Thats funny, must be the library of congress' web browser of choice

For those of you running a mac, you have a choice of mozilla browsers, Mozilla, firefox, or camino (which is Mac only)

Firefox is available for all 3 platforms, and I am planning on building a computer (x86 architechture) and running a dual boot Linux/Windows system (although I really cant see myself using windows much at all) and firefox will be my browser of choice.

On the Mac Id have to say Safari and Camino are neck and neck......with firefox actually thrown right in the mix come to think of it, all 3 are awesome browsers

Might want to copy and paste it. The redirects on this site don't always play nice with firefox.
