Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
There are so many plug-ins and ActiveX controls available that it's hard to keep track of them all--or to know which ones really make your Web browsers more useful. Cheryl Kirk comes to the rescue with this comprehensive guide.
Taking a chatty and nontechnical approach, Kirk describes what plug-ins do and discusses how average users can employ them to make Web browsing more fun, and how Web-site owners can use them to make life easier and more productive for themselves, their visitors, and their customers. She also covers the use of plug-ins on corporate intranets as well as on the Internet. Her case studies of how various people are using plug-in technology are eye-opening idea generators. Kirk clears up the confusion over the difference between Netscape-style plug-ins and Microsoft Internet Explorer ActiveX controls and then offers insightful reviews of the leading software in both formats.
Kirk includes a valuable chapter on plug-ins for alternate browsers, such as the old browser technology many still use on America Online and CompuServe. The enclosed CD-ROM contains her top recommended plug-ins for both Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer as well as links to sites featuring more options. -- Elizabeth Lewis

What a coincidence..........,
By "kellytools" (Idaho) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Supercharged Web Browsers : A Plug-Ins Field Guide (Paperback)
that the first reviewer wrote a glowing review and has the same name as the author of the book. Coincidence? I think not.

Excellent book, even better price,
By A Customer
This review is from: Supercharged Web Browsers : A Plug-Ins Field Guide (Paperback)
Per the last comment, of course this book is outdated...it was written back in 1998! But what a find for [this price] on Amazon! Especially if you do have older systems, like I do. I have two older computers and my father has one too that had older browsers. We were having a hard time finding anyone who would provide us with help on them and many of the new verions of software just don't work right with old browsers. The real world examples I loved and although most of the links are now outdated, I had no trouble finding most of the software I needed. More suprising, I had problems with one product and thought I'd email the author, not thinking she would write back! Not only did she answer all my questions, but gave me some great tips on a windows problem I was having. Excellent book and fantastic author. Wish I could give it more stars.

Answered so many questions,
By A Customer
This review is from: Supercharged Web Browsers : A Plug-Ins Field Guide (Paperback)
Using a browser isn't difficult. But when things don't work, or you don't have any idea what a plug-in is or how to use it, this book answers all your questions. I enjoyed the breezy, chatty style of writing. It made me feel like the author was right there answering all of my questions. One of the best sections is where they talk about how different people are using different plug-ins to solve problems. Excellent.
