Huge list of Firefox Extensions

November 22nd, 2006

One of the things I love about Firefox is it’s extensibility, there are literally 1000′s of themes and extensions available so you can make your browser just the way you want it, which is one of the many reasons Open Source software is so attractive.

If you’re still using Internet Explorer you’re out of luck. But if you look on the on the bright side; there are tonnes of viruses that work just fine with Internet Explorer.

 

I try and keep things lean, but still I find myself using ALL of the following extensions.

 

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

    Check out http://www.prowebsurfer.com. They have a cool toolbar that replaced ads with pictures of your choice. Their blogs mentions they are about to release a version that will let me create my own replacement images. I have been using it on IE for a couple of weeks. it has already removed 3501 ads for me! I think they also have a version that works on Firefox?

    Everett, thanks for leaving a comment.

    Firefox has many more add-ons that can a much better job – without installing a toolbar.

    I would advise everybody to avoid using Internet Explorer at all, it is simply too vulnerable to spyware and exploits.

    I suggest you use Firefox, there are 1000′s of plugins if you want to customise it. And of course, no spyware!
