My recommended plugins to increase your On-Line productivity


Based on my anti-climax experience with Google Chrome, I recommend the following browsers

PC/Laptop - Mozilla Firefox

Mobile - Opera Mini

Having experienced IE,Safari,Chrome and Firefox, nothing comes close to Firefox in terms of 'extendability' and higher productivity.

With the browser question resolved, here are my recommended plug-ins on Firefox and why you need them:

1. Add to Search Bar : You can now add any search on any site directly to Firefox. e.g. if you want to search New York times movie reviews, go to NY times movie review page, click into the seach button, right click and add that search to your browser. From now on, your browser search window can throw up results from NY movie reviews.

2.Cooliris: Is there a better way to view search results for images and videos? Try it

3.Foxclocks: For all those global citizens working across timezones, this is a godsend. Add real time clocks to your browser status bar , in an unobtrusive way.

4.Google Preview: You vaguely remember the site you went to and how it looks? Now all search results come with thumbnail views of the page.

5. Morning Coffee: Opens all your favorite pages ,in one click

6. Webmail Notifier: As you are browsing, this keeps track of your web mail boxes and lets you know when the mail arrives. You click on the icon and your relevent mail box opens.

7. Score Watch : Live Cricket scores on your browser status bar. Most unobtrusive way to keep track of your favorite game!


You can find all these plug-ins at
