Supz!

 

For the benefit of all, share useful extensions (Besides Adblock  :tongue:) that you use on your browser and why you think they are helpful.

 

 

 

Here are 2 that I found extremely helpful:

 

 1- Project NapthaAllows you to copy text from images opened in your browser, very effective as long as the text is clear to a degree.

 

 2- DeluminateInvert the luminance of a website to make it easier on the eyes. Incredibly helpful. A similar (and probably slightly better) extension is called "Hacker Vision", but I think it's paid now. Not quite sure.

I just started using ublock over Adblock the memory hog. I just read about it last night, so far so good. Supposed to be much less of a memory hog, actually fools the ads into thinking they have been viewed so youtubers get paid, hulu can't stop you, etc...It's amazing how many people still don't know you can block ads. When I hear someone complaining about banner ads or commercials on youtube, I'm just like "oh you poor fool."

 

Cryptocat - have encrypted chat with any other cryptocat user. Has a cool 8 bit kitten for a logo haha

 

Hide Fedora - can be used to block and substitute content in your browser. You can configure it to block certain words so you never see them in your facebook feed for example, Hate seeing your racist uncle's take on things, but can't unfriend for some reason? Make it look like cute animals instead.

The Hawken forum's a forum, but it's like the only one you get yelled at for using.

I get the most use out of Adblock (obviously), HTTPS Everywhere, Disconnect Search, and Pushbullet. Cryptocat is cool too, but I don't really need to use it for the majority of my conversations.

 

HTTPS Everywhere: Forces HTTPS most places that support it

Disconnect Search: Basically a cleaner-looking version of Startpage that lets you choose which search engine you want to use

Pushbullet: See/respond to notifications you get on your phone from your browser

Greasemonkey -- User scripts that run in your browser upon finding matching websites. Can be used to adjust functionality, add functionality, remove popups, etc...

 

Session Manager -- Great add-on for Firefox that allows you to save your browser window(s) and load them. I use this extensively to organize my internet browsing activities. E.g. if I go on an anime searching spree, instead of bookmarking it, I can instead save my entire browser and continue any time where I left off.

I've got a few on GC, some are just jokes, but some are nice. For example, I've got one called twitch live that (if you log in to it with your twitch account) notifies you when people you follow go live. It says the number of people online and if someone is on you can just click the extension to see who and then click the name listed in the extension to take you right to the stream, it does however create random desktop notifications that are typically late and notify me of streams I am either aware of or currently watching.

 

 

All in all, a good extension:

What if we just give some bacon paint, some bacon holo-emotes and change Bunker from snow to bacon.

 

This way, everyone will be happy.

What you should really do, is replace your parts with bacon, so you can cook games and eat bacon

Obviously the wallpaper would be cooler if bacon was incorporated into it.
