Same here, plus it's something I can read
now that my eyes are so bad. "Increase font" seems to be a limitless function on Firefox, and I use it to great advantage.

Trying to read a printed page is torture and requires 2 sets of drugstore glasses, one atop the other, to enlarge the print to where I can make it out. Then I get raging headaches from trying to read within 15 minutes.

So yes, for the immediate future, I am an internet addict.
