UndergroundMedia has given Internet Explorer users one more reason to consider switching to Firefox: podcast search plug-ins!

The free Firefox web browser offers many benefits over Internet Explorer. It’s available on all major platforms, including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It’s independent from your operating system, unlike Internet Explorer, which means that browser bugs are much less likely to allow hackers to compromise your system. It also has many features, such as tabbed browsing, RSS support, and extensions, that IE doesn’t offer.

For podcasters that still haven’t made the switch to Firefox, though, UndergroundMedia’s search plugins offer a new temptation.

“Thanks to Jascha Dub over at UndergroundMedia, Podcasting News and Podcast Alley are now right up there with Yahoo, Amazon & eBay,” notes Podcasting News’ Elle Webb. “At least….when it comes to searching in FireFox!”

The plugins are free and easy-to-install.
