This column is going to be very biased toward the Internet browser, Firefox. Why? Well, because that’s just what I use.

I find it has much more to offer than Internet Explorer, but if you would like to tell me why you love Internet Explorer better, then please do!

As to why I like Firefox better, it is because of the customizable options.

I believe the more ways you can customize your Internet experience and make it work for you, the better. It makes browsing for information quicker and your boredom Web surfing more enjoyable.

So visit http://addons.mozilla.org to get started. You will have access to all the “Firefox Change-arounds” your heart desires.

There is a wide variety of add-ons that you can customize your browser with, like alerts and updates, appearance settings, bookmarks, dictionaries and languages, photos, music and videos, privacy and security, social and communication, themes, toolbars, Web development and more.

If you want to keep up to date with all the add-ons available, you can subscribe to RSS feeds for the newest, most updated and featured add-ons.

One example of a personalized add-on is called “Personas,” which are free skins for Firefox that help you change the look of your browser. You can individualize your browser with creative designs made by artists, or you can create your own design to share with everyone.

Another add-on is called “Cooliris,” which is a full screen 3D way to browse online photos and videos. You can enjoy this add-on with Google images, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr and many other sites.

One add-on I recently utilized is called Forecastfox, which is live updated weather from anywhere in the world. You can pick the place in the world you want to see the weather from, and it will show up right on your toolbar or status bar. I like this weather add-on because it does not have pop-ups, is always there when you open Firefox and saves you time from having to go to a weather Web site.

Finally, one I found and use when I am bored is called “StumbleUpon” which is an add-on that allows you to find new Web sites based on your interests. You can customize which categories of Web sites you want to “stumble upon” and then click the “Stumble!”button and see new Web sites pop up before your eyes.

So if you have not tried Firefox yet, download it from www.mozilla.com/firefox and get customizing.
