Hello friends, from this week I am starting a new series of post. Every week I will come up with some utilities that can be used to improve your web browsing experience and also make your web browsing simpler and more easier. This week we are introducing 5 Firefox extension. they are Bloogrovr, DownThemAll,FasterFox,Map+ and PicLens.
BlogRovr: You don’t have time to read ALL those Blogs! Let RovR do it for you.RovR fetches posts from your favorite blogs about anything you’re browsing, and shows you summaries you can open read posts without leaving the web page you were on.BlogRovR also suggests popular items AND lets you Twitter about any site you’re on too.
DownThemAll: DownThemAll is all you can desire from a download manager: it features an advanced accelerator that increases speed up to 400% and it allows you to pause and resume downloads at any time! DownThemAll is fast, reliable and easy-to-use! It lets you download all the links or images contained in a webpage and much more: you can refine your downloads by fully customizable criteria to get only what you really want! DownThemAll is absolutely freeware and open-source. No Adware, no Spyware.
FasterFox : Performance and network tweaks for Firefox. Fasterfox allows you to tweak many network and rendering settings such as simultaneous connections, pipelining, cache, DNS cache, and initial paint delay. Dynamic speed increases can be obtained with the unique prefetching mechanism, which recycles idle bandwidth by silently loading and caching all of the links on the page you are browsing. A popup blocker for popups initiated by Flash plug-ins is also included.
Map+: View a Yahoo! map of a selected address without having to open a new window or tab.Currently, Map+ only supports addresses within the United States.
PicLens: PicLens instantly transforms your browser into a full-screen 3D experience for viewing images across the web. Our new interactive "3D Wall" and built-in search function lets you effortlessly drag, click, zoom, and zip your way around a wall of pictures for an extraordinary viewing experience.
Piclens is currently works on:
- Flickr, Smugmug, DeviantArt, Photobucket, Picasa, FotoTime, Fotki
