Are extensions the killer feature in Firefox?

Absolutely.

I’ve used IE7 a bit. It’s slow, but sometimes Firefox is too. It has tabs, it’s relatively secure compared to IE6, it has a pop-up blocker built in, it has pretty decent cookie and password management built in. In a nutshell, it has many of the same features that Firefox has had in it’s basic form. What it doesn’t have are extensions that allow me to keep an eye on Gmail or the weather, add technorati tags to Blogger posts, create a TinyURL or add something to my link blog with a right-click. I get all that, and a bunch more, from extensions.

    Jenny pointed me in the direction of kunekt, which will take your contact information and make an RSS or RDF file out of it. So you can use your favorite aggregator and subscribe to folks contact information. Sort of like collecting business cards, but I can keep the information completely updated for you. That’s fairly…

    The site’s been unreachable all morning. I heard through the grapevine that it’s because the servers are all being moved over to the as yet un-named merge partner’s company. I’m still keeping my fingers crossed that this will be worth the wait, in terms of improved reliability and service. We shall see. Hopefully I’ll be…

  1. I think they are most useful. I have had only a few issues with them. I have also started experimenting with Flock of the late and it is very similar.
