Pimp your browser

Posted by ucdlibrary on November 15, 2007

These days you don’t have to content with the browser that Microsoft (Internet explorer) or Mozilla (Firefox) makes available to you. You can make your browser an extension of your life by adding extensions or add-ons. These are small add-ons that add new functionality to your browser and canĀ  range from a simple toolbar button to a completely new feature. Many of the newly developed web 2.0 services, such as blogging services and social bookmarking sites have extensions that allow you to use their services quite easily.

Firefox and Internet Explorer each has its own collections of extensions. To start you off here are also a list of some popular extensions and add-ons. But there are plenty more out there.

N.B. Firefox has extensions and Internet explorer has add-ons.
