Browser Wars
I just read about a new browser that Dr Mercola of www.mercola.com is promoting. He says he has stopped using Google and is using this new software that he created.
It is called Search Helper…
To me it looks like the same thing you can get from www.nichebrowser.com for free - you just have to deal with their sales efforts after the free download…but it is easy to get stop their efforts by opting out.
I emailed them both to see what is up with this new browser.
I already downloaded the nichebrowser and haven’t started using it but may because after I had it explained by mercola it made more sense to use…
Anyway…interesting stuff here on the web…everyone is just trying to make a buck!!

Thanks for giving people a heads up about my
browser.
Yes, I do try to sell you pretty hard once you
opt in. You can unsubscribe, however…
Luckily for the buyers, I help you make a bunch
of cash.
Take care,

I thought it was quite odd getting traffic from a
massage site, but hey, any traffic is good traffic.
Good day to you.

hello julie and onlookers.
its correct that mercola will make a profit from this but if you care to look closer at his work you will discover that profit from sales on his site go direct back into the site, or towards fighting the legal battles brought to him by the FDA! he has in fact had to use large amounts of his own life savings to keep the ‘real’ empire at bay, the FDA and their hand-in-glove buddies, drug corporations, not to mention certain high ranking US goverenment officials.
i for one am very happy to pay for this browser if it means helping changing the entire focus of health away from entirely profit driven drug companies to learning how easy it is to take care of one’s self.

I am all for fighting the FDA and bringing good medical information to the public which is why I support his site for the most part.
But I have placed many orders through his site especially in the last year and the customer service is the worst I have ever seen and I order alot of things online. They take forever to reply to a simple questions. They take forever to get the whole order sent. When you order, they are not set up to handle the things they advertise for. Although I guess that means they are busy, there is no place to call to really get any help.
