Sorry, this time, it's only Me, but do it for yourself too.

We all see ads all day every day, and there is a way to share with Mr Google some of the profit generated, by simply tweaking your browser's default search engine. The search results displayed will be identical.

Here's how.

Save this file MyGoogle.xml to your
c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins


Then set MyGoogle as your default search

In your address bar, type in: “about:config”

scroll down to

Double click that entry and then type in "MyGoogle"

Restart Firefox!
