Comments on: Top Firefox Plugins That Have Changed My Life http://peterkao.com/2007/12/12/top-firefox-plugins-that-have-changed-my-life/ Adventurer + Entrepreneur + Traveller Wed, 11 Jan 2012 19:53:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Peter Kao http://peterkao.com/2007/12/12/top-firefox-plugins-that-have-changed-my-life/#comment-3 Peter Kao Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:39:04 +0000 http://peterkao.com/2007/12/12/top-firefox-plugins-that-changed-my-life/#comment-3 Thanks for posting Will :) I used to use Adblock as well, but I quickly un-installed it after reading more about web development and designs. I wanted to see how webmasters position their ads for max returns. I have heard about the User Agent Switcher app before, but never got it since I don't have a real use for it. What do you mean that it bypasses UW's wireless requirement though? You mean it bypasses the login requirement? All-in-One Gestures is something I am a bit hesitant on using, just because it might incorrectly read my gestures. I will give it a try, however I doubt I will prefer it over my point-and-click way of browsing ;) Thanks for posting Will :)

My personal favs: Adblock Plus - blocks ads User Agent Switcher - allows you to fake your browser ID. This does various things, but most useful for UW students: if you set your browser to appear non windows allows you to bypass UW wireless's requirement for Windows users to run minuet to get full port access. All-in-One Gestures - a decent program for firefox gestures (basically, you can navigate between tabs by right clicking and dragging. it can make mouse only browsing considerable faster) Firebug looks interesting, I’ll have to look into that.
