Good browser plug-ins for Safari / Firefox / Everything but IE

By C.K. Sample, III

If you are always complaining about how pdf files and Word documents break the web, complain no more:  grab yourself the newest versions of
PDF Browser Plug-in and
Word Browser Plug-in by
Shubert|it. PDF Browser Plug-in is a fully functional PDF viewer in your web browser that beats Acrobat Reader's Mac-integration hands down.  Word Browser Plug-in provides a text-only preview of any Word documents linked to on the web. Both programs are free for individuals, although PDF Browser Plug-in has a
$69 site license for organizations and the added stipulation that it is only for home or educational use. Neither program works with IE, but who the hell uses the end-of-lifed slow-ware that is IE on a Mac anyway? Use Safari or get the 'fox, and start speedily* clicking through every link on the web, whether HTML, PDF, or .DOC!

*non-broadband users may not experience the speed. Get broadband.  Dial-up is so 1990s.
