FF addons you can’t live without
Firefox. Made up of all the small pieces.
So, this post is a perfect example of the purpose of this blog: making my life easier and bookmarks lighter. I don't use any fancy addons and you will therefore (most likely) not be surprised or find anything new here, but nevertheless I will list the ones I use and recommend.
- Adblock Plus. The number one banner-killer on the web. Get rid of all those adds.
- Brief. My favourite RSS-reader. Comes with a simple and elegant design.
- DownThemAll. DTA is extremely useful if you need to download lot's of similar files on a page.
- FlashBlock. This addon will block flash by default and thereby save you from a lot of adds.
- IE Tab. Great plugin if you need to use/view some page in Internet Explorer.
- NoScript. Actually, I don't use this addon. In my opinion too many things are blocked and it makes surfing the web a pain. However, it is without a doubt the safest way so enable this whenever you're browsing a place with minimal security.
- PDF Download. Upon clicking on a link to a pdf-file, this addon will ask if you wish to open or save the file. Handy!
- StumbleUpon. One of the most popular FireFox addons. I've used it for years but since it's so it's time-consuming (i.e. addicting) I've simply had to uninstall it! Try it out and see what I mean :)
- Video DownloadHelper. Download those YouTube movies easily.
- X-Marks (Foxmarks). This is the main reason for why I use Firefox. I have loads of bookmarks and this plugin synchronizes them between all my computers. It also gives access to ones bookmarks through the browser.
Okay, this was it I think. Cheers.
