what browser add-ons do you use?
 
Firefox here, and I use:

Noscript
Adblock+
Download Manager Tweak (makes download window conform to the main window size)
DownThemAll
FloatNotes (make notes on virtual post it notes on webpages)
InstantFox (set shortcuts for searching, for example g netphoria would search google for netphoria; w billy corgan would search wiki for bc, etc. you can customize it of course)

I'm going to find an auto gmail checker when i get a few mins later to test a few

what other addons do you dudes use?

well yeah

i made the mistake of going on here on my dad's laptop about a week ago and within 5 minutes i had like 100 infected files and it had disabled the internet and wouldn't let AVG or Norton work

thank god for system restore

adblock for chrome
disconnect and ghostery, both prevent websites from tracking searches and gathering advertising data from me
f.b. purity, customizable filter for facebook, allows me to hide elements like application posts and others as well
quietube - little link pops up in address bar that displays a current video without ads and pictures and stuff around

teh b0lly!!1 11-24-2011 04:50 PM

there's something about "tweak" that implies circular, pinching motion.

I have Adblock Plus, and used to have something called SoThink Web Video Downloader that let you download any flash videos (not just YouTube); it stopped working a couple of updates ago. Any recommendations for a replacement?

teh b0lly!!1 11-24-2011 04:55 PM

fucked if i can remember what it was, but i remember having some SoThink product installed and it was complete trash and felt malware-y.

teh b0lly!!1 11-24-2011 04:57 PM

btw could somebody explain to me why NoScript is useful.
i tried it and really didn't see the point of having it installed if you already have AdBlock, and all it does is block every YouTube embed and all that, and ends up bothering you more than doing any actual good.

reprise85 11-24-2011 11:29 PM

someone will get with you who knows more than me but i like to unlock individual components so I know what is being triggered but maybe I'm just wasting my time

Tchocky 11-28-2011 02:12 PM

NoScript
Video Download Helper.

That's about it. Nothing too exciting.

PkPhuoko 11-28-2011 02:41 PM

firefox, no script, adblock +


no script takes care of pretty much everything

sppunk 11-28-2011 02:46 PM

Firefox is taking away the ability to install third-party apps, heads up if anyone uses them.

If this is true, I'm switching to Chrome once this becomes a reality.

I tried to find a link, but couldn't find anything like I thought I had once read. This says it just auto-disables them on update but you can still enable them.

I do know they're trying to bring them "in-house" for security reasons.

teh b0lly!!1 11-28-2011 03:48 PM

wow thanks for the update guys.
i could slaughter a puppy when essential softwares suddenly change everything up, not even going into removing make or break features.

slunken 11-28-2011 03:55 PM

altavista was the shit
