PC Week's Top Firefox Extensions
[via
susan mernit and then also
modulator]
Their list is interesting:
- About site 0.1.1
- Adblock 0.5.2
- Bandwidth Tester 0.4.1
- Cards 0.16.1
- Clusty Toolbar 1.0.2
- ColorZilla 0.8.2
- DictionarySearch 0.7
- ForecastFox 0.5.8
- FoxyTunes 1.1
- GoogleBar 0.9.0.30
- Google Preview 0.8
- MapIt! 0.4
- ScrapBook 0.12.0
- Tabbrowser Preferences 1.1.1
- xMirror 0.1.1
The article says "We evaluated dozens of extensions and present the best 15 for your perusal" but it doesn't say what "best" is based on. That they work? That they're useful? Are they productivity tools, or are they just cool?
As Modulator pointed out, AboutSite wasn't listed in the extensions page, and I'd never seen it before (or I did and forgot, or something) but I found it
here and will install it later.
In September, I posted "
firefox extensions that make my life easier" and since then I've tweaked the list a bit so that I currenly use:
- BandwidthTester
- BugMeNot
- DictionarySearch
- Gmail Notifier
- GooglePreview
- Sage
- Tab X
That's only an overlap of three, with the "Top 15" as determined by PC Week. I can understand why they didn't talk about the BugMeNot extension, but why not Sage? It's a darn fine RSS reader. I am going to try some of the ones on the list that I hadn't used before, especially AboutSite.
