Font size, colour and background (when not specified in the Web page) and default home pages can all be customised using 'Internet Options' in the Tools menu (for Explorer browser) or the 'Preferences' option from the Edit menu (for Netscape browser).
WEB RESOURCES:
There is an option for replacing the IE or Netscape logos on your browser windows, and you can also use skins from sites like hotbar to make your toolbar more attractive.
Browser tools are designed to make surfing faster and convenient. They include Web Talk that allows you to talk to your browser, and Window Washer, which helps maintain your privacy and keep your system clean. A complete list can be found here.
You can also download these add-ons. For example, the free Alexa toolbar allows you to view information related to the links on the page, while Copernicus 2000 gives your browser powerful metasearch capabilities.
There are also browser accelerators to increase your surfing speed, like Download Accelerator.
So, get an exciting skin, download a few add-ons and tools and make surfing a more pleasurable experience.
