My Firefox has more extensions than Dani Filth’s nipples

http://tinyurl.com/5e8sq6

Google Chrome just came out, and I must say it is amazing.  It is quick, has a nice clean layout and some really nice extension-equse properties.  As a Linux user (Mint, a derivitive of Ubuntu) I do not use it that often, but I have, and I was very much impressed.

If you follow any of my pointless micro-blogs,

Re-installing a fresh batch of Firefox and FIrefox extensions always gives me a good feeling
(http://pownce.com/alittler/notes/3377921/)

I used to back up all of my Firefox extensions (FEBE) but the time I forgot I remembered how much fun it was to search for stuff again.  Essentially, the really good ones I will never forget, I am talkin’ the AdBlock and Foxmarks and all that stuff.  But lately, I have gotten terribly excited over the new extensions that seem to be coming out.  In no way am I saying these are the only good ones, but I am saying these are probably the best ones out there.  And I know this stuff, I am an extension whore.  Seriously, I put out to them .xpi files like nobodies business.  I even disabled the the initial privacy warning, yeah, I search bareback, baby.

Feedly (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8538)

“Feedly is a new kind of RSS start page which weaves Google Reader, Digg and Delicious into a more fun, magazine-like user experience. The integration with Twitter, Yahoo Mail, Gmail, Friendfeed and Delicious makes sharing a breeze. You can get up to speed quickly by importing your existing Netvibes, Bloglines or MyYahoo accounts, your bookmarks or an OPML file.”

All-in-One Sidebar (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1027)

“All-in-One Sidebar (AiOS) is an award-winning sidebar control, inspired by Opera’s. It lets you quickly switch between sidebar panels, view dialog windows such as downloads, extensions, and more in the sidebar, or view source or websites in the sidebar.”

Remove It Permanently (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/521)

“Permanently hide content from web pages using the Context Menu. Simply, click and ‘Remove it Permanently’.” This is a more personal version of AdBlock, it can be used to permanently hide certain parts of code, like menu bars that you don’t want there.

TabRenamizer (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2987)

“Have you noticed that everybody looks the titles of your open tabs? It has a name: Paranoia! And a solution too: TabRenamizer!”

Locationbar² (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4014)

I found this add-on in a Lifehacker article in reply to Google’s new browser Chrome, and how to enable its best features in Firefox.  It highlights the root domain of a website, not a huge thing, but really neat.

FaviconizeTab (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3780)

You know what the problem with tabs are?  They take space.  With this you can shrink them down to use the favicon - and this is another reason to have a witty favicon.ico.

Menu Editor (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/710)

“Customize application menus: Rearrange or remove menuitems from the main context menu (right-click menu) and main menubar (File Edit View etc.)”
