Web Savvy: Give Your Browser Special Powers

Miniature JavaScripts can enhance Web surfing--if you're careful.

1. WebAttack.com: Bad name, excellent source of Internet utilities. Includes helpful tips and tricks, plus visual demonstrations of software.

2. VersionTracker.com: Up-to-date shareware utilities, drivers, software upgrades, and more. It's easy to find things at this fairly fast site.

3. Tucows: This site has become more cluttered lately, but it's still a must-visit for anyone looking for commercial and free downloads.

4. FindSounds.com: Part search engine, part download tool, this site is ideal for locating and obtaining all sorts of sound files from the Web.

5. PCWorld.com: I don't make enough from this column to sway my recommendation. PCWorld.com has a great downloads library.
