What is Digg?91 Comments
- Bob042, on 10/12/2007, -4/+82If you're using firefox, ctrl+enter adds the www._.com, shift+enter is .net, and ctrl+shift+enter is .org.
The more you know. - EtherGnat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+36IMPROVE productivity? Hell, the reason I'm on the web in the first place is to AVOID productivity.
- Justin6512, on 10/12/2007, -5/+33I hope there isn't a digg extension. There's no way that would "improve" productivity!
- keonnerod, on 10/12/2007, -4/+31another good article from life hack
- BrettFromTibet, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21Someone really needs to make a good plugin that allows me to set limits of how much time per day I'm allowed to spend on certain websites..cough... and enforces it. Not just a site blocker.
- EdThomson, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13Is there any list of extensions for increasing by productivity when browsing pornography sites?
- jdc760, on 10/12/2007, -5/+15http://duggmirror.com/tech_news/Top_10_Firefox_Extensions_to_Improve_your_Productivity/
- Murdats, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11if your using any browser Ive ever used pressing ctrl + enter adds the www.com
- EtherGnat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Top 10 lists have been popular since Moses, get used to it.
- JewFro, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9yes, its called lube.
- m00n1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Ask any editor and they will tell you the answer. People like them. It's that simple. "top 10 extensions" will have more people clicking than "The best extensions".
- scottious, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8What about a addon that blocks MySpace and Facebook?
- LR2_, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7PageAddict can set limits on how much time per day you are allowed to spend on certain sites. You can even set up tags with multiple sites and give that tag a limit.
- D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I understand that you actually don't want to block Digg, but if it were blocked you would have a lot more time....
- mirzmaster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6NX: Tab duplication is covered by Tab Mix Plus.
- DurkaMcDurk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6They have a RSS feed for the personalized google homepage.
- deviouskoopa, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Wow, I'm surprised the only one I have on the list is the Download Statusbar... I guess because Adblock Plus does an awesome job of blocking ads for me.
- LR2_, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Also, here is the extensions page where you can find PageAddict: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3685/
- shinynew, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8http://duggmirror.com/tech_news/Top_10_Firefox_Extensions_to_Improve_your_Productivity
- ShBm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Obviously, though you apparently aren't.
- scrag10, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I think it's for any windows browser. Safari doesn't have it, and it pisses me of when I press enter + control and I go to a search engine.
- yugiohdan6, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Although I love Firefox I do have to admit that IE7 is a lot better than IE6.
- NBABUCKS1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4completely agree. I read a ***** ton of forums. The most efficient extension easily is mouse gestures. I can't brose w/o it anymore these days.
- wonko33, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4All-in-one-gestures is the ends all extensions for me.
I catch myself trying to do gestures everywhere now, on my desktop, in Word..photoshop - KaneElson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Thanks LR2, now I just need to work out a decent way of making it portable... I guess I can use portable firefox....
- derder89, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4They should have put mouse gestures on that list
- Robotronik, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4#1 to improve productivity:
Stay off of digg. :) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3clipmark is much better than scrapbook, it will even clip flash video now. http://clipmarks.com/
- cwshea, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@Justin6512
There's a duggmirror one... - GrantTheGr8, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Here's a list of my favorite extensions: (sorry for the huge post)
Adblock Plus: ( https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1865/ ) Subscribe to an ad definitions file (free) and most ads will disappear from all websites you visit. If you do happen to come across an ad that Adblock missed you can right click on it and add it to the list or you can open a list of all blockable elements and choose which to block. You can even use wildcard * characters.
All-in-One Sidebar: ( https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1027/ ) I use this mainly for the download manager, which I prefer to the default Firefox one and the Download Statusbar extension. It's also lets you view and edit your bookmarks, history, Add-ons, website info, and even lets you display a second website inside of it so that you can basically be viewing 2 tabs at once. Certain extensions add extra pages to it as well, such as Mouse Gestures (guide) and Adblock (blockable elements).
Dictionary Tooltip: ( https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1171/ ) Double click on a word inside a web page and this extension pops up a little box with the word's definition. You can choose between a whole host of web dictionary sources for your definitions.
Google Toolbar: ( http://toolbar.google.com/ ) I use this for one reason and one reason only. It adds an up button to the customize menu for your toolbars, which I added right next to my home button. You can click the button to go up one level or click the dropdown arrow to choose how many levels to go up. This saves you the time of removing the text manually from the address bar. After adding this button to my browser I disabled the Google Toolbar and the button remains.
IE Tab: ( https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1419/ ) Already explained in article.
Mouse Gestures: ( https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/39/ ) I use this mainly for enlarging images inside webpages. If you right click and drag your mouse in a down-right direction on top of an image it enlarges it. Up-left shrinks it, up-right hides it, and down-left resets all images on the page. The extension has all kinds of other functionality like opening and closing tabs, forward and back, etc. but I mostly just use it for images.
NoScript: ( https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/722/ ) This extension disables all scripts until you approve them. It makes browsing much much safer but it can also slow down your browsing experience quite a bit since every time you come across a page that needs to run scripts you have to approve the source. You can approve scripts for a source permanently or temporarily.
StumbleUpon: ( https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/138/ ) I used to use this a lot but my interest had waned of late. I started using it again recently when they added an adult section. Coincidence, of course. ;) StumbleUpon adds a toolbar with a shiny green button on it that you can press and go to a completely random website! If you feel like you have too much free time this is a great way to remedy that problem. You can choose what subjects interest you (games, humor, web development, lesbian sex...) and it will only take you to sites related to those subjects. All content is user-submitted. It's kind of like Digg, but more random.
Tab Mix Plus: ( https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1122/ ) Already explained in article.
Also, here's my favorite theme, Qute. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/7/ - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2i use Flashget. is there any reason i would want to try DownThemAll?
- mrfreeziexp, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4That URL thing is great. I can't tell you how many times I have typed digg.xom by mistake.
- DollaDollaBill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Lifehacker would be stupid to recommend its readers get adblock / filtersetG, it would kill off ad revenue sources.
- KIERANMULLEN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Adblock Plus should be #1 but I understand why he didnt mention it.
Websites are just plastered with ads, sometimes enough is enough... - yugiohdan6, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3It wasn't "Top 10 Firefox Extensions"
it WAS "Top 10 Firefox Extensions to Improve your Productivity" - PrplHaze, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Hey is there any add on that let's you control add-ons? I noticed that when launching Firefox, more often than I'd like a particular add-on has been updated and it prompts me to install the new version (No script has updated about 3 times in the last 10 days it seems like). I'd really like a mechanism to force firefox to only look for add-on updates once every week or 2. If anyone can help with this I'd REALLY appreciate it.
peace! - samy293, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I have using all of these plus some more for over six months now.. you will find all of them on the most popular list of the firefox add on page. I could not understand why so many diggs to this article - it has nothing new (my opinion).
- PrplHaze, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Second agreement for the mouse gestures, that is the most useful thing to hit web browsing since...well since Firefox.
- crispee, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Yes, actually: http://digg.com/software/Tools_for_Surfing_Porn_with_Firefox
Edit: Someone beat me to it. Anyways. Digg it if you like it. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Thank you for posting this, i use some allready but I just added a couple of the ones i did not know about. i like the download status bar!
- hmmdar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1The IE Tab and flash blocker are the only ones I installed, but they OWN so much.
- feoza, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Statusbar Clock shows you the time and date in your statusbar...handy if you're running Firefox fullscreen or if youe taskbar is set to autohide.

elevator shoes
Turn any shoes into height increase elevator shoes. - antongranik, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1My list of very usefull FF extensions: http://granik.com/blog/2007/02/28/firefox/
- contact287, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2That 'Customize Google' add-on is awesome. Block them building my profile? Sign me up for that.
- esthero, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1The gmail extension is great!
- bariswheel, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Firefox needs an extension that's overdue: Auto-correct.
I love the ability of Firefox underlining my spelling mistakes, but how about fixing common errors such as capitalizing the first letter after a period? Correcting mistakes like 'teh', 'theri', and other common mistakes? If such an extension exists, you would make my day if you provided the link. a configurable interface like a .bashrc where you get to make your own rules would be an extra plus. Calling out to all extension developers...! - mafresh1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0GREAT, thanks for the recommendation of gspace! This crappy extension locked me out of my gmail account without any warning. Sure I found a little note in the faq of gspace but that was *after* I realized I cannot access my gmail account for the next 24 hours!
