It’s funny that you mention drop.io, as on my list of future articles is something to cover some of the online file sync/transfer tools like drop.io, Dropbox, Sugar Sync, Live Mesh, etc.

I have used Readability (actually, here is a post on how to integrate the bookmarklet with Evernote: http://www.40tech.com/2009/06/23/combine-readability-and-evernote-with-one-bookmarklet/ ) and downthemall, but hadn’t heard of Smartcapture. I’ll have to check it out.

Thanks, Tony. I’ve tried most of those plugins, except Google Search preview. I’ll have to check it out. I’m actually typing this reply on my netbook. I’ve found that Chrome is faster on my netbook, although I don’t really notice a speed difference on my other computers.

I currently have 4 browsers on my computer: Chrome, IE 8, Firefox, and Safari. I recently switched from Firefox to Chrome primarily because of Chrome’s clean interface and faster speeds. Firefox is great but…I like speed when it comes to web browsing.

In terms of my favorite plugins: 1) Stumbleupon 2) Personas 3) Google Search preview 4) PDF Download 5) Ad-block plus.

It’s funny how infrequently I ever go back and look at bookmarks. The only bookmarks I ever really use are the ones on my toolbar, which is what I like to have Xmarks for. If I ever reintall Firefox, my browser is set up how I want it pretty quickly.

Thanks for the heads up on that, Klaus. I have one machine where Youtube skips. I’ll have to see if Tab Mix Plus is the culprit.

I used to like Tab Mix Plus but I found it’s just way too heavy compared to what I actually need and it very often slowed down my Firefox and made youtube videos etc. skip a few frames every 10 seconds or so, once Firefox has been running for some time.

I got tired of it and unstalled it, never looked back – Firefox is running much faster now :)

I use every one of those except Tabmix. From the honourables, I use Tiny Menu and Download Statusbar. I’m checking out PriceAdvance now…

I went to chrome for a while, as Firefox was way to slow, but the added functionality really helps my workflow, so I sacrifice load time and then leave the browser open. If Chrome ever gets around to integrating Firefox plugins, as I have heard may be on the table, it is going to be a whole new world for me!

Oh — I should add, I don;t really use Xmarks anymore since they went all social network-like. Not a problem for me, it just didn’t suit — and since I have been hanging with 40tech, I have been hooked into Read it Later. That is pretty much my bookmarking system now, combined with tags… :P
