Let me reiterate - OPERA IS THE BEST BROWSER YOU CAN FIND!

but when you are into web development you have to resort to firefox often for the add-on. Funny though that since addon have started appearing I have stopped seeing progress in firefox, its memory heavy, cpu heavy, slowest browser that is now just for Google promotion - The very reason for its existence.

 

Anyhow I am quite used to opera where pressing ctrl+H send it to system tray, freeing the task bar space. So I thought may be someone at firefox is trying to copy that too. But no, finally had to get an add-on (an unsigned addon that carries as much security risk as anything else) to minimize firefox to the system tray.

Here is the link to it -

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2110

To customize this add-on, go to Tools menu of Firefox and the n click Add-ons.

Now select Minimize to Tray Add-on and click options.

This will open the options window. Check the options you like.

Click ok and you are done. 

Works could have been inbuilt in firefox!

Till the time firefox itself becomes anything worth competing with Opera or Even Flock you'll have to rely on addons.

I had always been a great fan of Opera, and I think among all the existing browsers it is the best. Firefox is good but it is more of hype and any user of Opera will certify to what I say. Opera leads. But anyhow this post is not about Opera or Firefox, this is about a new web browser that I got to test today:

Flock

Truly, Flock seems to be the next generation web browser that is truly loaded with all the features that are becoming a part of everyday life. Think of it this way, that I am not writing this blog in the normal Opera window, rather I am writing this blog in a separate window especially designed for blogger. All I need to do is to log into my blogger account once and allow flock to store my login information & I am ready.  What more, no need to wait for the server to respond (that can be frustrating if you are working on a slower connection), you have a preview button right on this window, just click it and it is ready. All the options for formatting are available directly out here so that I don't have to run around or think what to do. For someone like me who has used softwares for entire life, working on browsers even for tasks like posting a blog at times becomes slightly uncomfortable. Flock seems to take away that feeling with this interface.

I have something urgent to take my attention so I will publish it as it is and continue back with it tomorrow, till that time surely I would have experimented with this as much as I want. Till then I will tag this as

Simply Superb!
