Browser plug-ins has become essential allies of those who spend a long time before the browser, as a good selection of extensions can greatly enhance our experience. Besides the convenience and speed of access to information (organization of tabs, password reminder, etc), we can more safely navigate and integrate new services or features in your browser, so installing a collection of extensions just becoming almost vital.
In the vast universe of extensions to the browsers can find many options in my case, I cannot imagine my Firefox without extensions that I added over time. After much testing, I've reached a fairly stable and I think quite comfortable navigation, so a list published to coincide with the other day Lifehacker, Who had some of my favorites, here are the ten extensions that I consider essential in my browser:
Flashblock is an extension (available for Opera, Firefox and Chrome) that allows prevents the loading of content made in Flash format, which will result in a burden and a much faster navigation. The operation is very simple, except as expressly provided, the Flash content will be ignored, however, we can create a list of "white pages" in which if loaded into flash content by default. Given that flash content affect battery performance notebooks, is a way to save energy and gain more autonomy and, moreover, has helped me to check some web development including Flash content, so we could analyze how was if someone came from, for example , an iPhone or from a browser that did not have flash player installed.
Sync Firefox that is most useful for those who have more than one computer (home, office, etc) and allows us to synchronize open tabs, favorites, passwords stored. Google Chrome also included.
Colorful Tabs is a simple Firefox extension that helps us organize open tabs. In this case, the extension color tabs repeating the colors in the event that an appropriate tab and open a tab (mother tab), as well as to deploy as close as possible to the mother tab. Very useful to reorganize the information because all the tabs are located below child tab of the mother, regardless of when they were open. In the background is a fairly simple extension but in my case, I'm some maniac with the number of open windows, I find it most useful.
Echofon besides being a good Twitter Client for iPhone or iPod, Has a version as a complement to Firefox, in my case, it has become one of my essential to follow the timeline of this network. Echofon runs inside Firefox and is showing every so often (configurable) new tweets as pop-ups (besides being able to deploy a small window to follow the timeline). In this regard, and although it is adding a further application, Yammerfox would be equivalent to
Easy YouTube Video Downloader is one of my essential extensions. Available for both Firefox as Chrome, Is an extension that introduces YouTube a panel of options so that we can download content they are viewing, either the entire video or audio track. The truth is that I find quite useful.
BugMeNot This service is very useful for testing applications but if you too lazy to have to go through a registration process. This extension makes available the database of users who have collected BugMeNot and with luck we can prove access the services you want without having to register. Not always work, but try not lose anything and when not working, you can tell the service to a negative value the information you have provided. It is available for Opera, Safari, Firefox and Chrome.
Autocopy is an extension for Chrome Firefox with a fairly self-descriptive name. The extension automatically copy the text that we select for a given page, saving the pressing Control-C (or Cmd-C on Mac) or the mouse trip to the browser's Edit menu, a function very similar to the selection of texts in Adobe Reader, for example.
With all the hysteria generated around Firesheep, ensure our navigation almost has become a prime target. To ensure your privacy we navigation forcing SSL sites that support it. To this end we use Force-TLS in Firefox SSL KB Enforcer in Google Chrome.
Google Translate, The translator of Google, is a feature that comes standard in Chrome, however, the functionality of translate a full page Interestingly enough, at the same time useful, therefore, that we can include other browsers (like Firefox, Opera or Safari.) The extension will recognize that the page you are viewing is our default language, so that will tell us if we proceed to translate.
Web of Trust (WOT) is an extension (available for Firefox, Safari and Chrome) that shows us the degree of confidence they have web pages resulting from our searches. Actually, this service is provided by many antivirus, but still a most useful supplement if you do not have an antivirus with this service. The confidence is determined by its own database and input from service users of the service, to help keep it updated.
These are the ten most significant extensions that I used, I would surely leave many, and very useful in the ink, but the universe of extensions to the browsers is almost infinite. And you, what extensions we recommend?
