Just got my Firefox updated to 2.0.08. No better notification than that right? Just a message saying that the updates are out and you’re good to go. Now it isn’t really that long until we finally see 3.0b but I just can’t wait for it. These releases (2.0.0.8) are security updates to the browser. According [...]

If you’re just like most of us who keep tabs permanently open (I keep my two Gmail tabs and Google Reader), then PermaTabs should [...]

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 use [...]

Shopping on eBay is one thing that you can really consider. Some things you can really get cheap online. 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.

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. While Firefox integrated a relatively better download manager (compared to IE), it doesn’t carry that feature. But at least you can install an extension that lets you do so. [...]
