9 Lightweight Browsers For Non-Surfing Moods
I thought I would pop in here again with a random post about browsers. My browser of choice right now is Chrome. I installed shortly after it came out as my secondary “fast” browser for those times I was doing things other than web surfing with my computer. Like, for example, when writing code and just needing to look up documentation quickly. I was a born again Firefox user at the time. The addons, man, the addons.
TidyFavorites: Bookmarks and More
Not another bookmarking tool. That’s what I thought at first. I had finally settled on delicious as my tool of choice. I can save, search and archive. Much better than a bunch of folders hanging out on the toolbar of my browser. But TidyFavorites is different.
At first, I thought this tool looks like the home page of Chrome or Opera, where your bookmarks are laid out as screenshots on a grid. Humans are very visual and this can make finding your bookmarks easier. But TidyFavorites does much more than that.
My FireFox Addons

I like testing things by seeing if they will break. You might find me running nine different programs on my computer at the same time. Every time processors became faster and more efficient, I just loaded them up more.
I had a tendency to do that with Firefox also. This is one reason I run multiple browers: Flock, Firefox and Chrome. Flock is the one I use most of the time and it is one with the most addons. If you are not using Firefox or Flock, you are missing out. Change now or the rest of this post is not even worth reading. Browsers with addons take away the need for a lot of extra software.
A Glitch in The System
I used to work on cars. I thought I loved it at the time. I realized after a while that I hated it. I like saving the money. Don’t get me wrong. I still will work on cars, but I will bitch about it.
Sometimes I chase down why things won’t work. Sometimes I’m tired of that crap for the same reason I hate working on cars any more. I can do it, but it’s going to take a long time.
Social Tools in My Toolbox
First, I would like to invite all of you to Social Median, a different sort of network. It works like Digg, because stories can be "clipped" and commented on. It works like FriendFeed because you follow other "News Makers" and has groups. And it’s new and for some reason I can’t stay away. Read more... (790 words, 2 images, estimated 3:10 mins reading time)
