What browser do you use? What add-ons / skins / ... have you installed?
Show off your ePeen here.
*Waves around ePeen* WOOSHWOOSHWOOSH
![[image]](http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/6110/mahbrowser.th.jpg)
Browser:
Firefox 3.5.3
Skin:
RulerDark (adapted so it's the old version. the new version sucks)
Small icons, moved the buttons and bookmarks toolbar next to each other.
Add-ons:
AdBlockPlus (removes ads from websites)
AutoHideStatusbar (guess what it does)
AutoPager (done with clicking on numbers to page 2 - 3 - ..., just scroll down and autopager loads the consequent pages below)
Bug447571.xpi (due to other add-ons, I got a bug in firefox, this solves it)
ChatZilla (irc client)
DownloadStatusbar (you're an idiot if you don't have this one)
DownloadHelper (downloading youtube etc.)
DownThemAll (downloading all images from one page at once etc.)
FaviconizeTab (double click a tab of an opened website to only get the icon - gives you a bit more space)
FireFTP (ftp client)
FireShot (screenshot full page, screenshot window ...)
Gmail manager (yeah, it like... manages Gmail)
Greasemonkey (to install scripts from userscripts.org, very handy)
Hide caption (hides the title bar in Firefox, moves the close - minimise - maximise buttons next to the search thing)
Hide favicons (hides the favicons in your bookmarks bar)
Hide menubar (hides the menubar, ALT to get it back)
InForm Enter (you can make it remember things you fill in into input fields, like name, address etc.)
Menu Editor (because I hate it when I accidentally click on Send Image to... instead of Save Image as...)
Organise Status Bar (makes you shuffle the icons in your status bar)
SkipScreen (automatically clicks on buttons in for example RapidShare)
SmarterFox (immediately get the first google results when typing a few words in the address bar and other handy stuff)
Stylish (gives the ability to restyle websites using userstyles.org: I hate clear white backgrounds on for example Google)
Tab Mix Plus (a lot of tweaks for handling your tabs)
Tooltip Plus (gives the tooltip info field more detail)
Tell me, DAE, how long is YOUR ePeen??

Doom: I had to use Opera when I was trying to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu with a shared Firefox profile. I somehow messed up and had to use Opera to find solutions. I thought it was a horrible browser, and deleted it as soon as I found out the solutions to my Firefox profile problems.
Toro I have accidentally deleted the post you added later (I wanted to space-scroll down but accidentally tab-spaced the Delete button) :/

Um sCYTHe, i think you got a corrupted version of FF... its in some weird language 
Browser: FF 3.0.14 <-- cuz im old school
Add ons:
Ad Block Plus: same as sCYTHe, invaluable, cant imagine not using it
Copy Link Text: right click on a link and copy it, it can be annoying trying to copy a link without this
Fireshot: same as sCYTHe
Greasemonkey: same as sCYTHe
Greasefire: automatically finds GM scripts(if there are any) from userscripts.org for w/e page you're on, would recommend for anyone using GM
Linkification: converts text links into clickable links
MeasureIt: lets you measure anything on a webpage, really useful in some situations
Menu Editor: same as sCYTHe
Organize status bar: same as sCYTHe
PDF MeNot: replaces PDF downloads with an embedded Flash viewer, sometimes useful
Personas: themes and skins for FF, i use one but not really useful
Photobucket Uploader: uploads images from a web page directly into your PB account, extremely useful if you often save images
TinEye Image Search: uses TinEye to search for images, useful in specific situations, but they dont have a very large database
A few others, that should probably be deleted.
Favorites: Ad Block Plus, Linkification, Menu Editor, Organize Status Bar, PB Uploader
Imma look up some that you're using though.

but in terms of actual add-ons, does flock have the same selection and usefulness that the firefox add-ons have? If you're willing to trade add-ons for some logins then yes flock might seem better but we all know that in reality the add ons are more important.

yea they have other add on called Me.Dium
Me.dium reveals the hidden world of people and activity behind your Flock browser. With Me.dium you and your friends can see each other moving around the internet. You can surf the web together, for the first time, in real-time. You can also meet new people interested in the same stuff as you - even ask them questions and start discussions. And you'll discover new websites based on the activity of other Me.dium users with the same interests as you.
Screenshot
Based on the excellent Firefox Screengrab from Andy Mutton, this Flock extension allows you to save webpages (entire, visible portion, selection) as png or jpg images. You can save these images to your file system, the clipboard or even send them straight to the photo uploader.
Unlike some, this extension does NOT require Java (JRE) for saving webpage screenshots. However, JRE is needed to capture entire windows or flash heavy sites - get the free Java Runtime Environment from here (scroll down) and read the Java vs Canvas page.
That's it for add ons. And for Tool Bars is.
AimTool Bar
spinner.com the meaning:
So do you like music as much as you like Flock? The Spinner.com Toolbar is great for music lovers. This Toolbar gives you links to a daily free MP3 (perfectly legit, so don't worry) as well as pumping headlines about music news, concerts, and artists directly to Flock. Lay down some smooth tracks on the web with the Spinner.com Toolbar. Also includes Winamp Search.
The other is Winamp.
there gonna add new themes for the browser in a few weeks.

I'm thinking about installing the google Surf Canyon add-on,
This add-on automates the discovery of relevant information buried in the search results on Google, Yahoo!, Bing, Lexis Web or Craigslist.
Simply enter your query at one of these search engines as you always would. When you click a result that appeals to you, the application automatically re-ranks the result set in order to bring forward what you need while suppressing what you don’t want. “Recommended” results can come from as deep as page 100, where virtually no one ever looks, but often come from pages 2-10. Surf Canyon also inserts optional “bull’s eye” icons to the search page to enable retrieving recommendations immediately, without having to actually click the particular result.
http://my.SurfCanyon.com further enables you to specify the websites you prefer as well as those you dislike. Preferred content is naturally moved forward in the search results while disliked content is removed altogether. Additionally, you can even insert real-time search results from Twitter and OneRiot. The “Settings” are available here as well as an “Odometer” that will measure the mileage you’re getting out of Surf Canyon.
Additionally, this add-on will add Surf Canyon's search site to the Firefox SearchBar. Modifying that is as easy as clicking the Surf Canyon icon in the SearchBar.
“Surf Canyon is one of the best search tools I've seen for some time. You may quote me on that.” — Mark Gibbs, Network World
“If you like the idea of more personalized Web searches... you might like Surf Canyon... Surf Canyon worked well for me with multiple search engines, retrieving data from result pages I likely wouldn't have opened... your days of futile Web searching are numbered.” — The Mossberg Solution, Wall Street Journal
“I've been using the plug-in for several weeks now and have quickly grown to love it.” — Carla Thompson, Senior Analyst at The Guidewire Group
“What I like best about Surf Canyon is the interface... The recommended results just appear underneath the appropriate link… Google could take a lesson in interface design from Surf Canyon here with all of its Ajax goodness.” — Erick Schonfeld, co-editor at TechCrunch
“After having spent time analyzing Surf Canyon’s product, we believe that, because of its ability to quickly and easily enable users to locate relevant information that might otherwise have been impossible to find, real-time personalization represents a significant next step in the evolution of search.” – Gene Munster, Managing Director and Senior Research Analyst at Piper Jaffray
The Internet Explorer version, along with a 60-second demo video, can be found at http://www.SurfCanyon.com.
Learn more about “real-time implicit personalization” at http://blog.SurfCanyon.com.
I think i might be able to use it, if anyone has a recommendation thx

ALSO, i just installed YOONO and i'm gonna try that
it's a all in 1 organizer for social network + IM, and it comes with some discovery bullshit
it's worth a try since i use meebo and check facebook constantly, if this works it'll all be on a sidebar and wont be slowed down

and linkification from blood's stuff, i realized it pissed me off to try and copy links and then paste
i read somewhere that it doesn't work if you have parenthesis in the url (like some wiki) but i'll use this mainly for the BS links that get spammed to me

so far yoono is useful for multiple IM clients on this main window without having to switch tabs like meebo, which is a plus... facebook works (albeit cramped) but you are able to read the updates so it's fine
primarily it's good for IM services
the "discovery" feature i have yet to use but really need to yet

smarterfox - fasterfox - fastestfox
linkification is not really obsolete: some people don't want all functions of fastestfox, only the linkification option.
