Top browser extensions: Better Facebook!
To continue with the extensions, here's a tip for Facebook users.
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 ;)
Top Browser extensions: Forecastfox
I decided to start tipping some of the extensions I've in my Firefox so here we go with the first one - Forecastfox.
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.

Get rid of the new Facebook chat
FB introduced the new FB chat a while back and I for one liked it at first, but then started suspecting that it's not working properly. 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!
More anti-IE stuff
Just after telling that Microsoft is considering about to develop IE any further, a new site was spotted. 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.
