annie Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 I found quite a collection of seldom seen browser addons in the grep of TCH visitors: StumbleUpon/1.906 Avant Browser [avantbrowser.com]; MyIE2; Crazy Browser 1.0.5 Few IE, logically enough. I'm just curious to hear who's using browser addons, and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Dick Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 I think most people use them for tabbed browsing. Of course, Mozilla is the way to go for tabbed browsing, but some don't know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rick Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 I use Crazy Browser primarily because of the Tabbed feature and the ability to have Groups. I click on the browser link and it opens the Forums, Help Desk, DNS Stuff, SamSpade, Monitoring Page, and a couple of other sites I use here. I can also easily open my News group with pages to check, or my School group with several pages I want to check regularly. I've tried others but I am too used to CB to change.

DCS Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Crazy Browser is a great way to go, especially since I visit many web page at one time, it's a nice advantage. Mozilla is also a good browser, if you don't like using IE . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rob Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 No add-ons, I am an Alt-Tab kind of guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCS Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 That works too, Rob. Either way, it's both effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarqFlare Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 I'm another alttabber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 I am a anything goes. lol. I use Keyboard Express for all my fast typing needs. I use Nojoks for my tournament needs. I use MSN Messenger Plus! For my messenger Automation/upkeep/logging needs. And just have a very big group of browsers in my menu. lol, but since I found out about it, after I reformat this Monday, I will also try Crazy Browser.

annie Posted June 6, 2004 Author Share Posted June 6, 2004 Personally, I'm a ctrl-t kind of gal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCS Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 I only use Crazy Horse on this computer alone, but when I use my other ones, I use the Alt+Tab function . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaseytraeger Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I use CTRL-T to add new tabs in Firefox. However, I also generally have more than one Firefox window open at a time because I try to keep like-minded topics in one window (e.g., web development stuff in one browser window, my various email accounts in another, etc.) I use ALT-tab to switch focus between the different browser windows. So I guess you could call me a CTRL-T / ALT-tab hybrid kind of person. When I used to use IE, I had several add-ons ... Google toolbar, Yahoo companion, mapquest address bar. Mostly I used Google to suppress pop-ups and Yahoo to access my mail. But now with Firefox, I don't need any of those. It's very nice having such a clean, efficient browser as Firefox. I won't be going back to IE except to test newly developed pages to see how they look in IE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCS Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I haven't used Firefox before. But after your post, I went to download.com to download it. It's a pretty good browser; similar to Crazy Browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
