I’m using Opera 9 beta now, instead of firefox.  I’m pretty happy with it so far.  It’s ridiculously fast, has built in mouse gestures, some cool little widgets, etc.  It’s a little harder to block advertisements, but if you copy this file into the folder C:\Documents and Settings\Ryan Anderson\Application Data\Opera\Opera 9 Beta\profile , only replace ‘Ryan Anderson’ with whatever your computer profile is named.  It’ll overwrite the old file, but that’s fine.  Restart Opera, and then you should have pretty much any annoying ads blocked.  If there are some that keep coming up, let me know, and I’ll update the file so that it blocks them too, but I haven’t had any problems yet.

Also, I’ve decided that, even though my desktop just died, I’m going to wait a while to get a new computer.  Really, the only reason I’m holding out is so that I can get Windows Vista on my next computer.  I don’t know which version I want, probably the Ultimate one, but I’m nowhere near geek enough to use Linux, so this will have to do.
