qyayqi 11 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 if you are running firefox and enjoy the addons, i highly recommend:1. Mouse Gestures - doing a little right button left button 'rocking' motion to move backwards a page, and the other way to move forward a page is an excellent time-saver for me when wandering through the web.2. AdBlock Plus w/ the Liste FR and EasyList filter subscriptions - eliminates many annoying banners from your casual web browsing. also useful for manually adding lots of sig pictures that are more annoying than amusing after the first 20 viewings - right click the image, block it, never see it again. also useful to install AdBlock Filterset.G Updater that works in conjunction with this.3. CustomizeGoogle - allows one to set an array of preferences and filters. i'm slowly building up a set of filtered sites that are mirrors of information hoovered up from other sites, they do nothing more than muck up my search results. now i never see them. tasty.

RDog 0 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Okay, so I have followed some of the things in here to try to clean up issues in my computer. In the computer I had before this one after a while I started having issues with videos lagging and buffering like 10 times for one 5 minute video. Eventually due to several issues I had a new computer built. The new one has worked great but the last month or so I have started having issues with video again. I have Vista and an upgraded graphics card since I am running 2 monitors. Any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites

I have set up a successful dual bot with osx. but obviously I suggest in jest and you should google it yourself and be prepared to learn. Link to post Share on other sites
