So It's Time For The Web

Well I think its time for a post about some web stuff. Mainly Basics. Some awesome browser's, some rss stuff, some stuff on making your internet go a little faster. Just some basics at first and I think I'll throw in an app also that tells you when anything tries to connect to the internet, I think I'll throw in an app about also about a program that will lock your keychains on your internet browser also. Well enough blabbing lets get to the points.

1. Web Browsers

Well were do we start. Well I'm sure anyone reading this knows about safari so there's no need to bring that up. Oh yes I got a few for you all.

Mozilla Firefox This browser is great if you want a browser that you can basically customize anything on. Now I use to use it alot but when you get all those add ons it kinda starts to slow down a bit.

Then there's Camino This browser runs the Firefox engine but packs the mac punch. It runs better than Firefox I think and its my 2nd favorite web browser. It was my first but I had problem's with getting it to block ad's as good as

OmniWeb This browser is really nice I love the way it handles tabs and everything has great blocking features and had a good rss reader built right into it. I really recommend checking this browser out.

2. RSS

I really don't use the stock RSS readers that come with a web application/browser. But the best one I have found and of course this app is free so it makes it all the better is Vienna. It's a great RSS reader and when you boot it up you can set it to update your topics and everything. If your using Omniweb it has a setting in it to make the default RSS reader Vienna so it transfers all your RSS to that. It's really quite nice.

3. Blogging

Well if your reading this you know I use blogger but I found a great app that runs all your web blogs on it. So you can post to multiple blogs and its got a great editor. It's got all the html stuff on it you could need and its what I do all my writing in. This app would be called MarsEdit.

4. Keychain Protection

Well the app I use for protecting my keychains is called 1passwd. It's really awesome. It keeps track of all your passwords on your browser and no one can sign in using your stuff unless they know the master password. So it's really worth checking out.

5. Internet Sniffer

A cool app that will tell you if anything on your computer is ever trying to connect to the internet is little snitch. Basically it tells you wants trying to connect to the internet and you have to allow it or deny it. You can allow it once or allow it forever whatever you choose to pick.

6. Speeding Up Your Internet

Ok here's a site that shows you a cool way to speed up your internet settings. Make sure to read the instructions once or twice before you attempt this. Make sure to write down your previous dns settings if there is any. My friend didn't do it and he screwed up his internet and everything. I did it and i've had no problems with it. My friend was also on vista though. The site is Open DNS

Now if you want to test your internet speed before doing the open dns and after doing it here's a cool site that will check your internet speed for you. Speedtest.

Well that's all I can think of for right now. If I think of anything else I'll be sure to post it so you all can know.
