Firefox Add Ons

[John_S]

Anybody find any cool Add Ons for Firefox ? Lately, I ran into Ghostery, NoScript, and now this neat one called Flagfox. Description from PCWorld... "If you're wondering how it works, Flagfox bases its flag choice on the actual location of the server you're connected to, rather than just the nationality of the domain name--which may be different.
After installing the plug-in and restarting Firefox, just head to any site and you'll see the flag at the right end of the address bar. If you click the flag, you'll get a new tab containing detailed geographic information about the site.
If you right-click the flag, Flagfox pops up a list of other handy tools, including Whois, SiteAdvisor, Web of Trust, and URL-shortener bit.ly. Head to the settings (via Tools, Add-ons) for the plug-in and you'll find a dozen or so other options you can add to the list." Pretty cool.

Just imagine all the crap (spam) you can add to your browser that you don't want?

I don't use add on's but that just me.

Not all addons are bad.

I consider "NoScript" a MUST have addon. It protects against various malicious things. I would also recommend "BetterPrivacy" and "Addblock Plus".

Then you might want to take some of the advice given here. Most of what has been mentioned KEEPS those uninvited guests away from your computer. :wink:
