Mozilla Firefox (fx) a fast and useful browser that is open source and provides many add ons developed by regular people like you and I, and is known for it's speed and extensions.
Good browser, but is not the best. There is no such thing as the best as every browser has its pros and cons. Firefox uses a lot more memory than others (Safari, IE7, Opera) Firefox 3 that recently came out is extremely buggy and disappointing.
Yes, it may be better than IE7, and Firefox compares itself against IE7 all the time, obviously, because they cannot beat Opera. Opera is truly the fastest and lightest browser yet no one sees it because Firefox is extremely overrated.
Person 1: IE sucks, Firefox wins! They even said it on their site, they have so much more!
Person 2: But Firefox never compared itself to Opera.
Person 1: Oh... right... Umm.. well Firefox.. I like..

A really fun game back in around 1999-2004 and was favored my people of all ages until it broke away no long ago. Here are a few reasons why it sucks now:
1. Overadvertising. Ads everywhere. One big one on the bottom, one big one on the top, one on the side, and NOW they even have one in their flash game popups!
2. Lies. They freeze your account, and when you ask for it back, they go "Sorry we cannot retrieve it because its been inactive for too long" (that was the excuse they gave me)
3. They are greedy. First it was the Neopets merchandise, didn't work out. Then it was Neopets premium, didn't work out. Then they made sidebars and avatars, didn't work out so they basically retired sidebars and all avatars since none even come out anymore. NOW they have NC Cash Shop and Mall so you can dress your Neopets in clothes. Everything new requires real money. If you don't have real money, they will spare you a free 150 NC to spent on a piece of crap. Too many hassles, advertisement links and ads!!!!
4. Annoying. First it was the game. They keep renaming games from "Whack A Kass" to "Kass Basher", "Whack a Staff Member" to "TNT Staff Smasher" and the "Scratchcard Kiosk" to "Ice SC Kiosk" They even change the old games they were fun. Now their new games take forever to load on dialup (so you better have some good internet) Has stupid annoying music, and have stupid intros that you can't skip and take forever to start the game. Games are now more complicated and more annoying. Doesn't always send score the time you want it to, so you'd have to play the game AGAIN.
4. Ugly interface. Other than the addition of 1090848322 more ads on the page, the interface is ridiculous. I do not need to see my active Neopet everywhere. Go to my items, see my pet's picture two times, go to references, see my pet's picture three times. Is this necessary?! What happened to the simple text links?? Games page is overloaded with images when it could have been that simple four category that it had years ago. Userlookups look disgusting now, you can hardly customize it anymore. They add unnecessary features such as the stupid "intro box" in the the items section which makes it even more cluttered and changed pictures that do not need to be changed.
5. Staff members are corny. They choose the worse jokes for contests, the most stupid and most obvious questions to answer, posts compliments by users but never complaints to fix, and in certain contests, they choose actual pictures taken with a camera instead of nicely done digital art work. My art took longer to do than the person's stupid Hershey bar with a hat on it! They change the Neopets to stupid poses with the fist as if the Neopet is angry (I HATE THIS POSE) and now all the pets look corny and stand the same way.
Don't be surprised by all the retired paint brushes and potions, they obviously want you to spend in their NC shop rather than paint your pet. This website is NOT for kids and is ridiculous! Been there since 2000, and it was fun for about 4-5 years and now it SUCKS. Take my advice and walk away from it.
I stopped playing Neopets because they were being unfair and over advertised everywhere on their pages!

One of the most stupid games you could play other than Neopets that is highly addicting but serves no purpose.
If you don't pay to play, don't bother because you will only see about 10% of the areas, use 30% of the items, and will be crowded with a bunch of weird people who follow you throughout the game, and if you ignore them, they will say you are botting and report you, and you will be suspended for a certain amount of time or even forever.
People there are extremely rude, even on the members forums. Say anything, talk about yourself, they might call you ugly even when they never seen you.
You could be spending 10 year of your life to fully complete the game, if you play every single hour of your life. The game is repetitive.
A lot of things require you to go on the "wilderness" where other people can attack you and kill you. You keep about 3/10 items you wear or hold, and before you notice, you lost your best armor or wasted your time traveling all the way there for nothing.
All the servers are completely crowded, even when they make new ones. The best training spots are always taken by mages who take your kills because they can cast magic spells and kill monsters first, which spawn about once every 2 minutes.
Training is completely boring and hopeless. The game gets boring, you won't know what to do, and nothing is available for you if you don't pay. So if you ask me, it's not worth it.
I played Runescape it was soooo fun. Omfg, this person got me banned because I didn't feel like answering him so he thought I was botting.

A very harmless group of marine mammals that live mostly in cold areas of Canada and have been killed for their pelts and fur.
Canadian hunters kill over 300,000 of these every year and most of them are only babies that are about a week to a month old. The babies have very nice white fur that sheds as they grow older. Many hunters slaughter these poor harmless animals in cruel ways by bashing them on the head and skinning them even when they are still alive! Canadian hunters also heartlessly skin and cut open pregnant mother seals and skin them and leave the dead babies on the ground.
If you ever see an image of these baby and even mother seals, you'll notice how adorable and friendly they look. They do not attack humans nor are they aggressive. People are the ones profiting from these animals' skin just for beauty and leave a whole pool of blood in the artic whereas there is more blood than ice. Baby seals cannot swim therefore they stay on land for a while and they never got to live their lives for more than a month because they were bashed on the head, dragged on hooks, and stabbed brutally by people. The poor seals cannot run away fast therefore they are left with suffering and painful wounds to bleed to death and even die.
I've seen videos of these practices of Canadian hunters slaughtering the poor animals. It's very sad and it made me cry to see how cruel people are to animals. Researchers say that if this practice continue for the next 20 years, there's a chance for the harp seals specie go extinct. Please do not make the same mistake as people did in the past and cause extinction to the dodo birds and quaggas! You don't know what's missing until it's gone.. They deserve to live just as much as we do. These animals were hardly ever killed for food and survival. They were killed for greed and profits. It's truly heartbreaking and despicable. Please help save the poor seals and other animals killed for their fur!
Pups (baby harp seals) like to roll around and make noises. They are very adorable and love to play and they usually like company.

A bad adware/spyware scanner that started out great years ago as "Ad-Aware SE PERSONAL" and slowly went bad to Ad-Aware 2007 and 2008. Decent detection of spyware but consumes too much memory and resources. Bad customer service, bad GUI, and extremely large for what it does. Secretly has a process running in the background and acts more like spyware than removing spyware. Takes forever to scan and doesn't usually finsish, instead it freezes and you'd have to start over.
I used Ad-Aware SE and it was awesome. Now, I use something else because I can't stand it.

An internet service provider that gives you internet for cheap prices but very bad. Dialup of course. I used the high speed version and it was still extremely slow. It stops loading after a few pages of web browsing.
Free Netzero: 10 hours of crappy internet. I used MetConnect for free in the projects and it was running fast like cable.
Paid Netzero: Faster than free, but stops loading after an hour or so. Restarting your computer or reconnecting helps but not always.
Omg! My free internet from Netzero ran out. I used 10 hours in a month and now I have no more left!

The greatest new thing around 199x to 2002 until everyone discovered DSL and Cable became cheaper. AOL dialup is extremely bad, I always got disconnected, the program is so cluttered, they are annoying, their antivirus stuff are annoying, the staff is annoying. I wanted to cancel my membership and wouldn't even let me, instead they ask me questions and then giving me another free month. I just want to freaking leave!
Me: Hi I would like to remove my account.
AOL Personnel: Was there something wrong with our service? We would be happy to provide you another free month of AOL.
Me: No, I just don't find the need to use it.
AOL Personnel: In fact we have many offers to give out for free. Our software helps protect your web browsing experience and your computer from unknown viruses and malware.
Me: I understand that, but I just don't want to use AOL anymore, I found something different.
AOL Personnel: Would you like us to join your new internet provider with our software? We are able to partner up with many internet providers.
Me: No, I would just like to leave, thank you.
AOL Personnel: Are you sure? Because--
Me: *Hangs up*
