If you are a Firefox user, someone has developed a  search plug-in for gc.com.
If your not useing Firefox, what are you waiting for?

Whoohoo! Thanks Moe!
I've been using firefox for a month or so now, really like the tabbed browsing feature too, glad to see a little geocaching plugin available. |

Something that is as fast as IE.

My experience using both the Mac (home) and Windows (work) version is that FF is faster than IE. Another benefit: on my work PC, Ad-aware and Spybot have detected not one spy-ware item since I made the switch from IE.

It's not on Windows: http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/browserSpeed.html# but yeah, the Spyware thing is always there but with Spybot, Adaware, and SpywareBlaster it's good enough.
That said, I have been using Safari mostly

maybe getting off topic, but...
I may have had reason to try FF back when I had msn.....spybot did nothing but disable all but six problems every time I ran it....Ad-aware took care of all of them, and I only ran it once 2 months ago, haven't had a pop-up since using IE.....no problem.... no reason to want more.

Thanks for the tip Moe. I've been using Mozilla for over a year now and really enjoy using it. About the only thing I don't like is the
<body bgproperties="fixed"> tag. It doesn't work with Mozilla. I like to use and see fixed backgrounds on web pages. Looks cleaner. |

I'm a happy user of Firefox at home and IE at work. I have not seen a big difference in speed between the two.
I can say that I test changes to the site for both (and Opera when I think of it). |

I try to make sure my pages are W3C validated (4.01 Transitional). I still have to change my "Photo Album Changelog" but since that requires rewriting some scripts I have been doing everything else first.
If it validates pretty much any modern browser should view it fine, right?

 Should being the operative word. I've been burned too many times by assuming that is enough and not specifically checking. |

| Firefox is all I've used for the past several months. It's really been quite nice to surf along without worrying about pop-ups. I haven't installed Service Pack II on my main computer, and IE is a sieve. |
