When Firefox is blocked, it is an inconvenience. However, when Internet Explorer and all other major Web Browsers are blocked, it is a nightmare. Sometimes, public terminals and computers are designed to do just that, even with an Internet connection. Luckily, there is still a way to surf the web without using any major web browsers with a rather sly method: using the Microsoft Windows Help Menu. Here’s how to access the Internet without an actual web browser.

• First, open any common application such as notepad or calculator. These simple programs are most likely not blocked.
• Once opened, press F1 (Default Windows Help Shortcut) or Help -> Help Topics. Here, you will see the basic help menu.
• Afterwards, right click on the title bar and choose “Jump to URL…” from the drop-down menu.
• Finally, a Jump to This URL window will come up, allowing you to type in any URL to go to.

Similar or perhaps even better than the previously mentioned Joox.net is QuickSilverScreen. This magnificent website is an internet portal to all types of media. At QuickSilverScreen, you can watch Free High Quality DivX Movies and Films, Popular Documentaries, Music Videos, Cartoons, TV Shows, and even Live TV Streams. These media sources are all open to the general public with no restrictions and are absolutely free!

In addition to tons of free videos, QSS employs the DivX Web Player. Thus, the video and audio qualities of these films are all top notch. You can watch free movies right on your browser without downloading anything, except the DivX Web Player. Of course, free movie downloads are also available if needed. However, the whole point of QSS is to deliver high quality media without waiting nor hassling.

Firefox 3, code named Gran Paradiso, has now released its first BETA, not ALPHA versions. This testing browser is available cross-platform for Windows, Mac, and Linux users. New features include:

• Plug-in manager for applications such as web based flash and media players
• Places Organizer updates the Bookmark
• Better Phishing alerts
• Stars to help you determine and organize websites, similar to Googl-like stars
• The Bookmarks are directly in sync with the Stars
• Better, tweaked Notification
• Customize the default action of certain application links
• Saved Places allows quick views of recent events

And etcetera etc…

However, remember, this is a BETA version. Although it is a bit more stable than the previous ALPHA versions of Firefox 3 Gran Paradiso, it still tends to be cranky. Therefore, don’t be surprised if Gran Paradiso is unstable or randomly crashes/freezes.
