Don't forget to try out the "turbo" function on the bottom, once you just set it to "automatic" and many internet pages will load a lot faster.

here is for everyone who wants to try it out:

Alright..I'm still sticking with Firefox, since I got all sorts of extensions installed I can't live without while browsing the web, such as blocking all the "watcher sites" like google analysis and other crap tracking my web activity. I hate being watched, even if they are for marketing purposes.

While Opera is more secure and even Chrome (although Chrome is made by Google and they are the worst for tracking individuals throughout the web) by only using IE, you are basically an open book invitation to every sort of trackers and even Big Brother.

You are still tracked. That only blocks unwanted ads, which is patching the wounds after the bullets have already nailed you.

search for this extention:

Ghostery

And then once you installed it, you have to turn it on manually. I set it to filter everything. Sometimes I gotta turn it off , like on Facebook and some other sites, otherwise it blocks off all the crap the people send me and get upset when I don't "allow this application" and whatnot.

I think I like "requestpolicy" better. I read a bit on ghostery's privacy policy & it looks like they may be spying on you
