1. Fast Dial

Fast Dial is a great FireFox add-on and a feature that you all have probably seen in Opera already. Fast Dial replaces blank tabs with a panel of thumbnails of your favorite sites. So  whenever you open a new tab it will show you the list of websites you have added. From there simply click the thumbnail to open the website immediately. Plus point for Fast Dial is that it allows you to add up to 100 websites with the customization options.

2.  ImageShack

Another add-on that really comes in Handy is the ImageShack Firefox add on. When you’re browsing the internet there are lots of websites you come across and there are certain pictures that you really like. A good way to collect all the pictures is by installing this add on. Simply Right click on any image and click “Transload Image to Imageshack”. Once done those pictures will be uploaded in your Picture Gallery before you know it.

Register on Imageshack, click tools and get the toolbar.

What is a browser?

 

I’ve been trying to explain to my mom for months what a web browser is, with little luck. After a few rounds of failed attempts, I grew curious about people’s general understanding of web browsers. So I decided to conduct a highly-scientific (read: not scientific at all) survey of my friends and got the following results:

As it turns out, my mom’s not the only one {!} who is confused about web browsers — even though the browser is one of the most-used programs on computers.
For my mom, my friends and everyone else who may be wondering about web browsers, I created a one minute video to help explain what they’re all about about:

 

I’ve also created a simple site, WhatBrowser.org, that gives even more information about browsers. On this site, you can see which web browser you’re using, explore links to browser diagnostic tests and read some useful tips for getting the most out of your browser.
Lots of our time each day is spent online, and every page on the web is experienced through the browser. Unfortunately, most people don’t realize that there are many browsers out there, which differ on features like speed, security and extensibility.
So, the next time you find yourself as the informal tech support for your family and friends, make sure to explain why their browser matters — and of course, what it is!
