its been overdue, way time to switch but I never could. forced myself to read this book and forced myself to start using firefox instead of IE. This book helps lessen the shock of getting used to how a new browser works. I like it better already now that I am more accustomed to the ways I can tweak it.

Buku ini bermanfaat bagi siapa saja yg suka berinternet ria dan ingin nge-browse lebih cepat, secure, dan efesien --> Firefox-lah jawabannya. Udh gitu fitur2nya oke2 bgt deh tmsk yg saya suka - DownThemAll, suatu aplikasi donlot accelerator yg built-in di dlmnya. So why still stick with blue E?
