What it does is basically hides all the common advertisements on web pages while offering a easy to use interface to block items. What you need is just to install the extension and once you've restarted the browser, select a list to use. Easylist has been working just fine for me :)

You simply select the text in your Firefox and get a small nice icon below your mouse that you can click. It opens a nice floating translation box on your bottom right corner with the translation :)

If you want to work around with the languages, you need to check the settings. I've set them to autodetect -> English :)

Later complaining about my wrist hurting like hell of course :)

Writing it down to a paper, putting a memo on your phone, sending the link via e-mail to yourself... Plenty of ways to remind yourself, but then you just forget :)

A while ago I spotted this magnificent extension for my Firefox called Read It Later. It requires registration, but if you're like me and could use this kind of feature, it's worth the trouble. Just install the extension to your preferred platform (Firefox, iPhone, Android, other browsers and mobile supported) and sign up!

I guarantee it'll make your live a lot easier :)

It's lighter and quite efficient focusing more on the news feed and filtering what it shows. The customization is a lot simpler than in Better Facebook and you can just tick the things you need from the settings link above your posts.

I've used this myself for quite some time and I don't have the heart to let go of it, it's that good :)

As we all know, there are tons of annoying things in Facebook such as the news feed itself. It's often filled with useless crap and personally I hate having shitloads of game updates etc over there. This is where this extension comes in. It's available for most popular browsers (IE not supported).

PS: You can actually see who removed you from friends as well ;)

If you're like me, you may sit inside most of the day, but want to know what's up outside in case you're heading out at some point :)
That's where this simple extension comes in handy. Now I haven't used it with Chrome, but I reckon it's a no brainer to install and use just like on Firefox.

I mean the old one wasn't that good either, but I had this feeling that it didn't have all my onlinle friends available for chat and it always seemed to have the same people listed on it. And you're not able to scroll down the online list, instead you just have the whole FB page scrolling down.

No FB, bad FB!

I figured that the "hide sidebar" would probably work, but no. Nothing happened and it kept coming back if I wanted to use chat. That "hide" only hid the whole chat option. So I came around this fix that I found @ Digiupdates (don't install the Enhancer, follow steps below instead).

If you're a Firefox user like myself, this is simple:

1. Just install the Grease Monkey extension.
2. Hit the "Add to Firefox" button. A box will open up asking to install it. Click "Install Now".
3. Restart Firefox as requested.
4. Go to Facebook Sidebar Chat Reversion plugin page.
5. Reload and if necessary, relogin to FB to have the old FB chat back!

This one is strongly against IE6. "Bring Down IE 6" is a website from .net magazine to literally bring down this old browser.

The premise is simple: Internet Explorer 6 is antiquated, doesn’t support key web standards, and should be phased out. This isn’t about being anti-Microsoft, it’s about Microsoft’s lack of development in the browser market. With IE7/8 not available for Windows 2000, IE6 accounts for up to 20% of web usage, primarily via business users. Clients pressure designers to ‘force’ sites to work in IE6, and designers, not wanting to lose business, comply, using hacks and workarounds. This wastes time and money. Microsoft needs to fix this, designers need to unite, and we all need to move on.

I couldn't agree more with that.
