We present our brief review of interesting plug-ins for Firefox, Chrome and Opera, which caught our attention last week.
Firefox
Copy Fixer - allows you to copy to the clipboard, the address and the name of the current page, that can be useful for authors of reviews and bloggers. Once installed, simply click on any page CTRL + C (in this case there should be no separation), and the clipboard will be copied to the page title and its address.
MouseControl - this add-on for the Firefox browser, which simplifies the operation associated with the transition between tabs. Usually we are drawn to the cursor and click the tab bar, select the desired tab. Once installed, we can hold down the right mouse button anywhere on the page and scroll the mouse wheel to navigate through the tabs back and forth. In addition, now with the mouse, you can perform other operations, such as pressing the middle mouse button, you can open the last closed the page and so on.
textarea Cache - can really save you a lot of time and nerves. The main objective of this extension is to preserve the text that you entered in the internal cache. If you like to chat in the forum, write a blog post, then you will certainly know the feeling of disappointment and disappointment when large and so well thought out text disappears due to a browser crash or errors website. Expanding saves only the data from the text fields, so you can be sure about their passwords.
Chrome
twitter Notifier will appreciate all active Twitter users of the service. As the name implies, this extension notifies you of new messages. In this pop-up tips can be displayed not only in the browser, but also on the desktop.
Bookmark Sentry - a simple and convenient scanner for Google Chrome bookmarks. He checks for broken links and duplicates and prints a report. Bugs and duplicates can be removed at the touch of a button. Check every few days can be scheduled or, for example, once a month.
RSS Live Links Google Chrome adds a feature that has long been available in Firefox called Live Bookmarks. These are special bookmarks to RSS, which reflect the latest updates in your feed. Each time the feed is updated, you will hear a voice announcement, and the number of unread news appears on the icon. When you click on the icon opens a menu containing news headlines. Perhaps the RSS technology this solution is hardly suitable for active users, but if you need to control only a few sources, note this addition.
Opera
NoAds- is the most popular to date extension for the Opera browser. It allows you to block ads and scripts on your pages. You can import AdBlock Plus filters, and in particularly difficult cases, use the manual mode of teaching.
Google-translate - it allows you to translate selected text or entire page. Simply click the expand button and indicate the direction of translation.
At present, that's all. We will continue through the week.
