----------------------------------- rizzix Thu Jul 03, 2008 9:22 pm Your browser customizations ----------------------------------- Post the customizations you've implemented to improve your browsing experience. I use Firefox and here's what I've done: Installed AdBlock+ Installed CuztomizeGoogle (Can you guess why?) Installed Download Statusbar Installed Google Gears (I use Google Docs quite a bit) Options -> Main -> When Firefox starts: "Show my windows and tabs from last time" Options -> Tabs -> Unchecked "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" Options -> Advanced -> General -> Enabled "Use smooth scrolling" about:config -> gfx.use_text_smoothing_setting = true about:config -> gfx.color_management.enabled = true about:config -> mousewheel.withnokey.numlines = 6 (Since I have a large screen display) about:config -> mousewheel.withnokey.sysnumlines = false (So that the above is effective) ----------------------------------- Saad Thu Jul 03, 2008 10:51 pm Re: Your browser customizations ----------------------------------- For firefox, my plugin list. Adblock Plus 0.7.5.5 CleanHide 1.0.7 Clipmarks 3.5.0 Cooliris Previews 2.6.4 Extension Manager Extended 2.6.4 FishEyeTabs 0.14.4 Flagfox 3.2.6 Google Toolbar for Firefox 3.1.20080605W Locationbar? 1.0.3 Nightly Tester Tools 2.0.2 pastego 2.0.3 Tab Scope 0.2.2.8 Tabs Open Relative 0.3.3 URL Flipper 2.1.1 My current theme is Nasa Night Launch. ----------------------------------- rdrake Fri Jul 04, 2008 12:00 am Re: Your browser customizations ----------------------------------- Lots of stuff: Couple of suggestions rizzix made. Adblock+ - Necessity. Firebug - Good for web development. FoxyProxy - Great for sites which think geography matters on the internet. NoScript - If you're paranoid, this is for you. StumbleUpon - Never be bored again. Ubuntu Firefox Modifications - No idea what these are. YSlow - Something to do with the YDN. Naturally all in Firefox 3.0. ----------------------------------- rizzix Fri Jul 04, 2008 12:06 am RE:Your browser customizations ----------------------------------- Saad: Ooh, FishEye Tabs and Tabs Open Relative are awesome. Thanks for posting! (I'd recommend installing Tab X as well, as it makes it more useful) ----------------------------------- syntax_error Fri Jul 04, 2008 12:16 am RE:Your browser customizations ----------------------------------- Firefox as well: --~Add-Ons~-- --> Better Gmail 2 0.5.1 --> Clipmarks 3.5.0 --> Cooliris Previews 2.6.4 --> Download Helper 3.1 --> Extended Copy Menu 1.5 --> FoxyTunes 3.0.2 --> Google Toolbar for Firefox 3.1.20080605W --> Meebo --> PicLens 1.7.0.3458 --> Remember the Milk for Gmail 1.0.2 --> StumbleUpon 3.23 --> Stylish 0.5.7 --> Tiny Menu 1.4.9 --~about:config~-- --> network.prefetch-next true to false --> network.http.pipelining false to true --> network.http.pipelining.maxrequests 30 to 8 --> network.http.max-connections 30 to 96 --> network.http.max-connections-per-server 15 to 32 --> network.http.max-persistent-connections---> per-server 6 to 8 --> network.http.pipelining.ssl false to true --> network.http.proxy.pipelining false to true --~Theme~-- Aquatint Redone 3.0.1 ----------------------------------- rizzix Fri Jul 04, 2008 12:31 am RE:Your browser customizations ----------------------------------- syntax_error, I'd just like to let you know, that from my experience pipelining actually slowed things down, than speed it up. ----------------------------------- Saad Fri Jul 04, 2008 9:42 am Re: RE:Your browser customizations ----------------------------------- Saad: Ooh, FishEye Tabs and Tabs Open Relative are awesome. Thanks for posting! (I'd recommend installing Tab X as well, as it makes it more useful) No problem, but I can't see why using Tab X becomes superior to using the regular middle button to close the window (since FishEye will make it big enough anyway). ----------------------------------- rizzix Fri Jul 04, 2008 1:34 pm RE:Your browser customizations ----------------------------------- Middle button closes the window? :s (Not for me..) ----------------------------------- Saad Fri Jul 04, 2008 1:39 pm Re: RE:Your browser customizations ----------------------------------- Middle button closes the window? :s (Not for me..) Sorry my bad, I meant tab. :roll: Edit: I think its a windows version of firefox [url=http://lifehacker.com/software/firefox/close-firefox-tabs-with-the-clickwheel-in-linux-190608.php]thing Second Edit: I found another plugin that might interest people [url=https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1941]Hyperwords ----------------------------------- syntax_error Fri Jul 04, 2008 8:45 pm RE:Your browser customizations ----------------------------------- does Cooliris Previews do the same things as Hyperwords? ----------------------------------- Saad Fri Jul 04, 2008 8:57 pm Re: RE:Your browser customizations ----------------------------------- does Cooliris Previews do the same things as Hyperwords? No, both are completely different. Cooliris Previews allow you to preview the webpage before you go there, and can be found [url=https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2207]here while Hyperwords is a set of useful functions for words and paragraphs (see demo [url=http://www.hyperwords.net/demo.html]here) ----------------------------------- chrisbrown Fri Jul 04, 2008 10:58 pm RE:Your browser customizations ----------------------------------- AdBlock+ ftw! It should be included in Firefox's core. ----------------------------------- michaelp Sun Jul 06, 2008 3:10 pm RE:Your browser customizations ----------------------------------- Yeah, it should be an optional part to install. ----------------------------------- Dan Sun Jul 06, 2008 4:23 pm RE:Your browser customizations ----------------------------------- Right now i have: Firebug Torbutton Window Resizer I also have a debugger version of flash player 9 for doing flash/flex work. ----------------------------------- Epic Tissue Mon Jul 07, 2008 5:01 am RE:Your browser customizations ----------------------------------- I use Opera. Tabs have x's, and you can middle click It has an ad blocker built in Tabs are the same when you last closed I would like better gmail though, just for the attachment icons.
