Stumbleupon is a very cool way to discover the net, you simply choose what kind of websites you would like to stumble upon, and then with a simple click you stumble from one website to another, recommended by people like you. Stumbleupon will better know your taste when you give those websites a thumbs up or down, you can even write a comment about the website.
One tiny problem with stumbleupon is that you have to download a toolbar so you will be able to do all these things, now here comes the disadvantage is that the toolbar can be installed on IE and Firefox only, so those who use Opera or Safari wont be able to use stumbleupon. Although a while ago Opera did have a WIDGET for stumbleupon but for a while now it is not available.
Anyway, now Stumbleupon is testing a new way for stumbling without the use of the toolbar, you can stumbleupon websites using any browser. Just go to http://www.stumbleupon.com/demo/#url= and you will see a virtual Stumbleupon toolbar which has all the options and features of the regular toolbar. All what you can do for now is hit stumble to go to a random website, you can’t use your stumbleupon account and you cant vote for any website since this is still in demo phase. Happy stumbling.

As much as I hate Internet Explorer, and nowadays I don’t even use it at all, but I know that some people still prefer using it, ofcourse I always try to convince them to move to real safe clean browsers such as Firefox and Opera. But to those who still use IE7, here is something that will make your life easier.
IE7Pro 2.0 is an add-on for IE7, it gives IE7 the features every web surfer needs, such as mouse gestures, Ad Blocker, Flash blocker, Tab manager and Greasemonkey like user scripts platform. And now the one feature that always was missing from all IE versions, a proper download manager that allows you to pause and resume your downloads.
The new download manager stays open even after closing IE7 windows, it stays minimized in tray, there is an option to automatically close the download manager after it finishes downloading.

Well to be honest i do not use MS Internet Explorer, yes i dont, i use Opera and Firefox, but my brother does and he always end up having more than one new toolbar in his IE, sometimes even without knowing he installed a new one.
Nowadays every software or website offer a different kind of toolbars, and spammers just love it. And as you know its not easy to uninstall those toolbars even if you try to go to the add/remove programs, so you end up removing them the hard way. Well not anymore, at least for my brother, i found this nice application called “ToolbarCop” easy to use and really helps removing any extension in IE. I really wish they could advance it and make it work for any browser, although other browsers dont really have that much problems like IE.
