The Outstanding Web Browser: Mozilla Firefox 3.5

I have been using Firefox since more than a year now. Internet Explorer...I must say is way behind Firefox. Google Chrome...although light in weight...it still is a let-down for me, & for a million people living around this world wide web...& that is because chrome is not an open source browser. I always give more consideration to the geekys, because almost every geek aspires of being a pro...one day...& as far as pros are concerned, they already possess a lot of consideration (from these geek , especially). I appeal to all geek ppl thru this post "switch to Mozilla Firefox, it'll help you cut the time to travel the distance from geek to pros quite fast". You should ask 'why', so I say, this post will tell you exactly why you should switch...Here I am making a wider consideration in terms of the class of readers who would be reading this post/blog (The Geeks, The Curious Learners & The Pros as well) so...I will be playing around the very specific reason as to why Firefox is better than the rest...I.e "The Open Source Scripting Extensions" in simple terms...The Add-Ons.

Add-Ons are a great way to literally recreate your web browser in exactly same way as you want it to be...it's like installing new limbs, sensory organs & efficiency to your body. Many people would argue 'what is the need if my browser already has all that, which I want', I say...you actually don't know what your browser could do (had it been like Firefox) that's why you have adjusted yourself to the limitations of your browser...

your browser can...

• Be a bill pay assistant
• Manage and remember your password
• Extensively find those things which you have interest
• Block the unwanted annoying adds of the web pages making it cleaner
• Search for & protect you against malwares & viruses
• Stop hackers from tampering your confidential data
• Update you about your tax payments
• Discreetly visit the sites, get the necessary information & report it back to you
• Download a movie, video song, picture album, while you are at work
• Boost your social life, deliver instant messages right into your browser from friends & family...

and literally everything IE/Chrome/Opera blah...blah... Can't do  :-)

Here are a few of the 1000's of add-ons which take care of the a fore-said tasks which Firefox add-ons will do for you.

Above are a few Add-Ons...those I which like, use & recommend, click on the image to go directly to that Add-Ons page to read more; Recently Mozilla Labs introduced a fantastic utility called 'Collections' (collections are a way for you to categorize, mix, match and mingle Add-Ons. Subscribe to collections created by other users or create your own.)  For now I have created 3 collections based on the kind of Add-Ons which it consists.

Today I just want to send my thanks to Google & Mozilla through my blog, I thought a sincere 'thanks' is really needed here as I have been using many of their software products.

• Most convenient environment to surf the web - Get Mozilla Firefox 3.5
• My stunning, light-weight & ever-evolving desktop - Get Google desktop
• Fast, Smartest & efficient, homely e-mail client - Get Mozilla Thunderbird
• A very well managed daily schedule of work & meetings - Get Mozilla Sunbird
• 'The' best in the market...Blogging platform...(must mention, Free!) - Get Google Blogger

These are a few of the select picks of software of Mozilla & Google, which I use regularly. If few of you people are new to Mozilla Firefox & want to know in detail, what Firefox add-ons are? then visit here. Almost a year back, Mozilla launched a great new thing, ‘the add-on-collector’, basically this thing is a Firefox extension only; but the real value of this extension lies in it’s usage, this extension facilitates the collection of the myriad number of add-ons, available for Firefox. Why is this needed? Now If you use Firefox & already use a more than handful of add-ons, then you must have come across a situation when you are supposed to format your PCs & laptops, or due to some malfunctioning of your Internet device or hardware, your Firefox crashes and it won’t start-up; In such circumstances you’ll have to re-install the Firefox...then when you are done with re-installing...the first thing you notice is the missing add-ons, which are important to you, so what’ll you do?

• Option one- manually install all the fav add-ons turn-by-turn.
• Option two- use your add-ons collector and forget the manual part of add-ons installation. (quicker & shorter)

You’ll then almost undoubtedly choose the option two! & this is where your add-on-collector comes in handy... moreover, at the home page of Mozilla add-ons site, you can share, comment, suggest & socialize over the other Firefox users add-on collections So I think you have now a clear picture of what is add-on-collector all about.Take this as a foreword on why Mozilla Firefox!...go to the link below & see the actual thing, see the videos there...(think over it if you want) & TRY FIREFOX.

Iconization 300809

The old known bookmarks, have quickly surpassed a few early stages of evolution in a very short time. One such remarkable stage is called 'the age of social bookmarking'. Few are those people who are in the process of acquaintance to this term. If you are one of those...it's good to know that, 'you surely will catch up to the fast pace of this ever-growing web world and it's treasure of invention'; I say this because I believe, you possess the thirst of gaining knowledge. So what is social bookmarking? For a quick info on what it is, check out Jim Vennemeyer's blogpost. Today there are a plenty of sites which provide this service of social bookmarking, like digg, reddit, StumbleUpon, del.icio.us etc.

As a devoted blogger I would like to point you to some really 'info-juicy' links were you can get a clean picture of how to make use of social bookmarking phenomenon on blogger, check that out at Danny Douglass's blogpost.

As a Graphics Designer, I prefer self designed stuff over others, so when I thought of putting up some social bookmarking icons (buttons), I naturally thought of designing a nice set of those, Still there are plenty of really cool social bookmarking icons available (for free) on the Internet,  you can simply Google for 'social bookmarking icons'  and you will get them. I have finished designing some 23 odd icons (PNGs) & wish to share those with you. It may be possible that some of you would like to see few specific icons of social bookmarking sites which I have not provided here...so if that is the case, just let me know your requirements through comments & I'll design those buttons for.

So here is the link to the Icon Set named ICONIZATION_300809.
