Great Firefox Tips/HacksIf you're not using Firefox, you're really missing out. Here's a great K5 run-down that lists some great hacks and plugins you can install on it to make it work exactly how you want it to (there were several plugins on there that I have never heard of, but now have installed). The coolest thing I hadn't seen before are these performance-tuned builds of Mozilla products that take advantage of the extra instructions on modern processors. I've installed one of them, and it works pretty slick. And I don't care how fancy IE 7.0 is supposed to be, I doubt I'll install it (actually, I will, but only for testing purposes).

I used it for a while, but found that it crashed Firefox on certain sites occasionally (like imdb!). Maybe I'm just stupid, but I don't like how the installs work with it, either. This great browser speed test article from January claims Moox actually slowed things down. Have you honestly found it to be faster? On a happier note, nice link to K5; that took some work to review all those extensions! Post a comment |
