Yep, I use Mozilla 1.6 because I like to use pretty much all of the features. It's nice to have an integrated suite that allows one to browse, check email, author HTML, use IRC etc.

And it's the parts like the Venkman JavaScript debugger that make this browser truly without equal. Ever tried to find a bug in JavaScript using IE? Forget it!

The extentions that I use are:

  • Flash Click To View - replaces all flash windows with a button that you can click to display. I find that at least 95% of flash on the web is ads. And particularly annoying adds.
  • Nuke Image - right click on an image and choose "Remove this image". Combined with "Block image from this server", this allows you to remove all annoying animated ads.
