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.
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?
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.
