Firefox getting swamped with all the add-ons and toolbars? Then why not get rid of the StumbleUpon toolbar. If your primary use of StumbleUpon is that magical Stumble! button, then you might consider uninstalling the toolbar. While I love stumbling and voting myself. There are a lot of buttons and drop-downs that I don’t [...]

While many websites have moved towards interoperability and multiple-browser compatibility, some are still too stubborn that they still prescribe Internet Explorer. So much so that they require IE for their site to function.

Microsoft has really shifted its attention from building “quality” operating systems (like they’ve really accomplished it all of these years) to web services. Windows with the Windows Live services is really trying to play catch-up to Google is you ask me. Live Search. Live Messenger. Now Windows Live Translator. It’s still in beta but [...]

Perhaps one peeve of mouse ninjas is, if they want to open several links in a page, they have to click on each and everyone of them. While the middle mouse button provides a bit of comfort by opening links in a new tab, it doesn’t solve the problem of multiple clicking. And again, [...]

However, if you’re trading internationally, you might have a bit of problem keeping track of dates especially if you’re in a different and distant timezone.

Google Reader is one service that I keep constantly open in a tab in my browser. And a lot of wishes about it have just come true. The new improvements were announced a day ago but it’s only now that Google has finally given me an opportunity to try it out. In any case, [...]

Ever since download managers have become popular, the auto shutdown feature has become standard with these managers. Even peer to peer software have featured this option.

With the convenience of online shopping and mail orders, who can resist buying when it’s as easy as one click? But imagine how many clicks you can do in one minute, and that just corresponds to how many things you can buy online in that short a time. But if you know how to do [...]

Constantly typing www. and .com in the address bar is a tedious job. For www..com, just type the domain name and press Ctrl + Enter. For www..net, just type the domain name and press Shift + Enter. Firefox will automatically fill-in those up for you.

It’s one of the reasons why I never touched IE again even with IE7 and its attempts to be as good as Firefox. It doesn’t care about you losing all your work just in case it or Windows crashes. Firefox has a robust session restore as a default feature. But one consolation for IE [...]

Because of the popularity of Flash, animated GIFs have become a thing of the past. However, I still see quite a number of site featuring them. And I see a lot of forums avatars still using animated GIFs. Personally, I find them annoying most of the time. If you’re annoyed by animated GIFs too, [...]

One key that defies its usual encoding behavior in Firefox is the Tab key. By default, the Tab key is a navigational key that shifts the next form field or button. It’s an issue however when you’re trying to create indentations in multi-line text areas.
