If you are a regular reader on Realgeek then you might have realized my love for Firefox extensions by now. I use whole lot of them and Cooliris happens to be the one that I have used and enjoyed a lot. This extension basically lets you browse selected websites in a full screen, 3 Dimensional mode which makes the whole browsing experience quite unique.
Cooliris was formerly called PicLens and was only available to the Firefox and Internet Explorer users till now. They have now created the extension for Mac Safari as well which is further reiteration of developer community striving hard to bring their applications to the reach of Mac users. There is no difference between the Safari version and the Firefox version.

The freedom that Firefox provides to its users is unparalleled in its peers and the ability to customize it or personalize it makes it lot more powerful and personal. The latest Firefox version is smoother and faster and the developers didn’t took long in making their add-ons compatible with the latest version. Firefox 3 still banks a lot on add-ons for its success.
I am writing down some add ons which do not get listed very often but deserve a try nevertheless.
1) WOT is short for web of trust and it makes our browsing experience safe and secure by warning the users about any site which has received overall negative ratings on the four parameters of Trustworthiness, Vendor Reliability, Privacy and Child Safety.
2) Tooltip is perhaps the best dictionary add-on out there for Firefox. The need of an English dictionary is compelling many a times and opening another tab and searching the word on google is not something most of of us really enjoy.
3) Tab Mix Plus is one of the best add-on to manage multiple tabs on your Firefox browser. It has been updated to make it compatible with Firefox 3 but the official Firefox site is not showing it as compatible. So you need to download it from the homepage of the developer. This add-on allows you to open tab in one click aka Internet explorer and allows you to undo up to 10 closed tabs. (more…)
