Browsers

Chrome is nice, but no addons so a no-no for me.

Which add-ons do you use Martijn?

In blue the ones I use really often, or find really useful.

* BugMeNot - will fill in random codes to logon forms on sites you want to check but require registration (and you're unwilling to do so for whatever reason)
* CheckFox - will quickly check or uncheck all checkboxes on a webpage
* ColoUnREaDTabs - highlights tabs I haven't read yet in bold red letters (useful as I generally have something like 30 tabs open at any given browser session. )
* CustomizeGoogle - just some random Google tweaks (ad removers and such)
* DownloadHelper - specifically geared towards downloading web videos, like YouTube
* DownThemAll - download organizer and accelerator. Includes scripts for downloading all links from a web page.
* FEBE - Firefox backup extension: backs up your entire configuration, your add-ons and your passwords in a safe manner
* Flagfox - shows the country of the site in the address bar (not very useful...but it IS interesting. For example, next to http://www.maintitles.net I can see a little Belgian flag now. )
* Flashblock - blocks all flash animation and replaces it with an action button so you can select which animations you want to see
* GmailManager - checks all GMail accounts you manage in one go; works through a gmail checker icon in the satus bar
* GoogleToolbarforFirefox - standard Google toolbar. I'm very used to it in IE so I'm happy it's available on Firefox as well, although it's -strictly speaking- not really necessary.
* Greasemonkey - script manager that activates scripts that decide the look and feel of any web page. Basically it's an add-on that's an add-on manager!
* IETab - opens a web page with the Internet Explorer engine rather than Firefox' one. This is EXTREMELY useful for sites that have scripted specifically for IE.
* * InFormEnter - allows you pre-define many user info fields such as name fields, address fields et cetera, so you can just click to fill those in at any given web site in rather than having to type them over and over again.
LazarusFormRecovery - the add-on that's a gift from the heavens: it will remember any text you type in in any form, or forum post and recover it if you happen to lose your connection, accidentally browse away or in any other way lose your place. This is one of the BEST add-ons EVER.
* MalwareSearch - just for security
* NewTabHomepage - opens my home page (google) when I open a new tab.
* OptionsMenu - declutters the options menu in Firefox
* PasswordExporter - exports your passwords into Excel (encrypted if required)
* PDFDownload - offers several options for PDF files
* Print/PrintPreview[/blue] - rather than just the standard Print button, offers a print preview, and a page setup option.
* QuickJava - offers an extra button to quickly enable/disable Java and JavaScript. Very useful for "joke" sites with java popup screens.
* ReaditLater - basically just adds an extra folder in your bookmarks, and adds sites you want to save for later perusal, but don't want to actually bookmark.
* SearchbarAutosizer - just an esthetic modification. Adjusts the search bar size to accomodate your search phrase(s)
* SecureLogin - checks for logon requests on any web page and offers secure logon options
* TabHistory - history is saved per tab, rather than per browser session
* UndoClosedTabsButton - does pretty much what it says.
* YahooMailNotifier - automatically checks all your yahoo mail; yahoo mail checker icon in the status bar

No.
Any reply of mine you might read here is a figment of your overheated imagination.

Btw, thanks for your list Martijn! (hadn't thanked you for the awesome Lazarus and InFormEnter)

Yes, thanks for that one too!

WIN for Bregt!

ah man

I am sure he does it in purpose to annoy Bregt

I've de installed Firefox, really don't know what's so good about it (though the grammar control was excellent)

I've installed IE8, so let's if this is good enough

bwah, I use it just for surfing, I don't care about that
same with the PS3, I don't care about putting a theme to it, or specializing it to my needs

IT IS FASTER. IT IS BETTER!

it wasn't that fast to make me change to it, better perhaps, I probably have tested its possibilities by a mere percentage

anyhoo, so far I've tried it and it wasn't that better to change to it permanently
