A simple tool included with Windows operating systems that allows the user to access Mozilla.com to download Firefox, a web browser.

Microsoft's attempt to dominate the Internet by integrating this poor excuse of a browser with every Windows OS, although this was deemed illegal, they made some bullshit up about it being a core part of Windows. So in the end, they integrated this POS into Windows.
IE is buggy, has many security holes, is slow, supports ActiveX so websites can install their XXX dialers on our systems, and finally, it's not standards compliant, so 80%+ web pages have sloppy HTML which doesn't work with standards compliant browsers, only IE. How convenient.
Internet Explorer is the most COMMON browser, but NOT the most popular.

What you call a website when you want to "rebrand" it and are too lazy to think of a better name, next thing you know it gets sold off to CNET.
Thankfully no one has ever done this because no such website exists.

When a company charges you an extra fee to use your already existing Internet connection for their service
Popular among consoles ever since the Xbox 360 proved that customers would be willing to pay more for their console over time than have a higher initial cost as with the Playstation 3.
Hey did you get your 2nd internet turned on for your xbox? The new cod is right around the corner!
No, dumbass. I use PC and only pay 1 internet bill. Fuck you for contributing to that bullshit.
A person who uses the internet deftly and creatively to answer questions that people ask them with superhuman speed and quality of result.
Person 1 - "What's the name of that song that Van Morrison sings from the 9 months sound track?"
Person 2 - "Let me look"
2 seconds pass and Person 1 receives an IM for the file transfer of the song.
Person 1 - "Dude, you are a total Internet Savant."
Person 2 - " /bow "
