A fond farewell to vertical tabs in Google Chrome
08 Nov 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 21 Comments
Tabbed browsing is nothing new, but I’ve always felt that something wasn’t quite right with how tabs were displayed. After an enthusiastic web browsing session, I’d often end up with a horizontal disaster of disorganized tabs. With computer displays getting wider and not taller, why were browsers cramming tabs into my precious vertical space? Horizontal Tabs in Google Chrome When...

Write Blog Posts From Inside Your Browser with ScribeFire
11 Jul 2011 by Scott Nesbitt
That seems kind of obvious, doesn’t it? Blogging from insider your browser, I mean. That’s how most people do it — go to whatever blogging site they use, log in, and start typing. But that’s not necessarily the best way. And it’s not the most convenient, either, especially if you have more than one blog. So, what is the best way? That depends on your needs. But a good...

Make Your Searches More Social With Wajam
17 Jun 2011 by Scott Nesbitt / 1 Comment
How do you find out about things? I’m talking about things like interesting places to visit while on vacation, a good place to eat, whether or not a particular bicycle seat is worth buying. Well, that and more. Chances are you take one of two routes. One, you turn to your favorite search engine. Or two, you ask a friend or someone in your social network a question or three. What if you were ...

TweetDeck for Chrome is a Flexible, Lightweight Version of its Desktop Counterpart
19 Apr 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 7 Comments
TweetDeck Desktop is arguably one of the best desktop Twitter clients for power users. It offers endless columns of information, multiple account support, and many features that Twitter itself had to copy. This app can basically do it all, and might even be getting purchased for $50 million by Twitter. My only major complaint is that TweetDeck Desktop runs on Adobe Air, and while I have no qualms ...

18 Apr 2011 by Scott Nesbitt / 1 Comment
Even though we live in an increasingly digital world, many people still can’t let go of paper. Look around any office (even your home office) and you’ll see a hard copy of some content from one website or another. The next time you’re on public transit, take a peek at your fellow passengers; chances are at least one of them is reading a printed web page. But if you look closely a...

Chrome: ‘New Tabs At End’ Puts New Tabs at the End
10 Mar 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 2 Comments
Never has a title been more self-explanatory. Chris Finke, who has previously developed killer Firefox add-ons like TwitterBar, ScribeFire, and the innovative TapSure for mobile Firefox, recently brought some much-needed functionality to Google’s Chrome web browser: the ability to open new tabs at the end of the tab bar, just like Firefox. If you have a group of tabs open in Google Chrome a...

How to Block Advertisements in Opera with Fanboy’s Adblock List
18 Feb 2011 by Dustin Patterson / 3 Comments
When I first considered switching to Opera as my primary web browser, there were a couple of criteria that had to be met. One major condition was that Opera needed to have the ability to block advertisements. In Firefox, advertisements are easily blocked with the Adblock Plus add-on. The Adblock Plus add-on keeps an updated list of known advertisement sources and removes their content from a pag...
