Tryangled Solutions web designing tips tricks

Instead of going to Google.com each time to search, it’s much faster to have Google built into your browser. Several options:

* My preferred browser for PC or Mac is Firefox <getfirefox.com>, which already has built-in Google. You should download the free Googlebar extension <googlebar.mozdev.org> or the official Google Toolbar <toolbar.google.com> (the Google Toolbar also works on PC Explorer). Faster searches; pop-up blocker; highlighting; word find (go directly to a word/phrase on a page). Be sure to get the Cool Iris extension for Firefox, which lets you preview Google results.

Any software you run can take over your user account, so it is important to be careful when downloading native software.

* Only install software from trustworthy sources.
* Get software from the official site, so you can be sure you’re getting the an untainted copy and to be sure you’re getting the latest version.
* When you are using an Internet connection you can’t trust, such as a random wireless access point, avoid downloading software at all. If you must download software, try to authenticate it in some way, such as by downloading it through https or checking the signing information for a Windows executable file. (Bug 292481 aims to make it easier for software developers to distribute software safely.)

(Hopefully, future operating systems will make it safe to download and install software by separating programs from each other and from your documents.)
