It takes forever to get on the Internet.

Internet Explorer, Chrome, Fire Fox, and Opera—these latest-generation Web browsers are likely to be the most used programs on your PC or Mac, and every time you add an extension or tool it adds to the browser's capabilities (and memory footprint).

 If you've been using the computer for more than a few months, it's likely you've garnered a collection of extensions and toolbars. You don't need more than one search tool bar (in fact, you don't need them at all anymore, as all the current browsers automatically search from the address bar). If you like the interface of a particular service, pick one and uninstall the rest. 

At the very least, you'll gain back a generous portion of vertical space in the browser window. It's the same with plug ins and browser games: they load every time you start the browser. Uninstall the extra extensions you don't use anymore. At best, the system won't load all the extra extensions, and your browsing sessions will start that much faster.
