pimp my browser

by justine

so after gushing about google chrome for a bit, i decided i couldn’t live without my add-ons. like yeah, what do i really need? really.

  • adblock for all that nuffnang/advertlets bullshit.
  • colorzilla for colour-picking without having to keep opening photoshop. kthxverymuch.
  • delicious integration with bookmarks. yummy.
  • download helper has been great since youtube ripper kicked the bucket it’s up again now, but oh well. best used with super for video conversion.
  • fast dial. super awesome. opens up a personally configured grid of bookmarks with auto-refresh screenshots. my setup shown below.

  • fireftp. simple ftp program. been using this for yonks now.
  • fontfinder. relatively new addition. haven’t had the chance to use it fully yet, but looks to come in handy.
  • foxmarks bookmark synchroniser. works well for a stalker like me. but now i’ve to wipe the work pc. *shifty-eyed*
  • measure it. another webdesigner’s tool which i haven’t got much use out of yet. but is nice for grids and divs. *geekface*
  • read it later. a great innovation from the idea shower. in theory at least. been saving bookmarks to “read later” but have procrastinated for almost a good year or so.
  • stumbleupon. new sites + delicious bookmarking and i am on my way to ruling the world. muahahaha.

vanity applied liberally in all aspects of my life. shiny happy browser equals shiny happy stalker.
