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.

    Related to the last post, I found a copy of the latest issue of Consumer Reports in the office and took a peek at their ratings. They rate a Gateway number 1, Toshiba 2nd, IBM 3rd and a Dell 4th, with the Dell being the “best buy” because it’s 400-600 dollars cheaper than the others….

Not only that, but our Communications Department, who is in charge of content and…

  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.
