domino Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 This might be a fun topic to play with so i'll start it. I have always wondered what kind of person he\she is with the type of extensions they install on Firefox browsers. Please don't limit yourself to Firefox. You may also post your Thunderbird and other Mozilla browsers. Your skins would be fun to post too .

I use Firefox for XP, Fedora, OSx86, and Mac because of adblock and WebDeveloper.

MLS Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 i don't use because there is no adblock like for it I found PithHelmet for Safari to be as good as Adblock + Filterset.G. Most of the interesting things of the developer toolbar made it into Safari plugins too. Some of them are unavailable is other browsers. For example, editable and syntax-highlighted "View source" with "apply" and "revert" buttons, or a sidebar showing thumbnails (re-orderable by drag and drop) of the tabs in a window, all that in a way that is much more respectful of Mac conventions than Firefox.

urig-herb Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I found PithHelmet for Safari to be as good as Adblock + Filterset.G. Yes, but PithHelmet only works under rosetta, right?

cyrana Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I hate tabbed browser exentions, it eats memory like no tomorrow. So anyway, on FF 1.5 I use: SessionSaver Adblock Flashblock NoScript Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3447-what-browser-extensionsthemes-do-you-use/#findComment-36537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 I gree with FF being a memory hog when you use tabbed browsing. I hardly use FF in linux becaue it literally used over 100mb of memory, that's with all extensions disabled. Kind of depresing, so I use Opera in Linux. My main browser for OS X is Shiira (Flash working) and main browser for Winders is Firefox.

cyrana Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Well, I meant the tabbed browser extention (addon). I don't have problems when not using it. It does eat TONS of memory though... I have 17 tabs open and it is using 400MB on 2003 Server! I have 1.5 GB of RAM though so I manange.

domino Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 I don't know how you manage 17 tabs. I have no more thab 8 tabs and it only eats about 60mb in Win. On another note, it is a fact that a normal Firefox 1.5 Linux install will consume over 100mb of memoey if you use it for over an hour. The fix from Mozilla is to close the browser and open it again . FF for 10.4.3 1111 is now available. I hope they fixed some things this time.

cyrana Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Probably something wrong w/that session on the 2003 machine. It'd been up for a week or so. The laptop I'm on now in XP has 28 tabs open and is just using 125MB.

39thRonin Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I'm using Camino and love it. I haven't added any extensions to it since I like it just the way it is. While not x86 or universal, Camino is very stable and quite fast on occasion.

jfn Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Flash working in Shiira? For me, only PPC Firefox can load flash. Shiira, DeerPark, and even Safari with Rosetta crash on flash sites (though I have the FlashBlock extension in DeerPark and disabled plugins in Shiira to avoid this). I'm using 8f1099 with an SSE2 processor and an unsupported Radeon 7500. Any tips on getting Flash to work?

Mr. Bond Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Just recently wiped everything, but at the moment, I have the Chatzilla extension (much prefer mIRC, or Colloqy, but it's handy for quick things), and this little extension called Popup Alt Attribute. Without it, all the alt-text is cut off. Especially handy when reading the webcomic Dr.McNinja Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3447-what-browser-extensionsthemes-do-you-use/#findComment-62069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSMatt Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I just added the Filterset.G Updater, but I'm not sure if I'll be keeping it. My iBook isn't nearly as much of a powerhouse as my Pentium 4, so I just install Adblock Plus, Flashblock, SpellBound, and Tab Mix Plus on the Linux and Macintosh versions of Firefox. I might also install Viamatic foXpose on them, since Firefox Showcase uses F12 and the shortcut can't be changed without another extension.
