Not a lot of people have tried Opera or even heard much about Opera as the browser has always watched from far away as Internet Explorer, then Firefox, and now Google Chrome are taking the stage of Internet prominence. However, is that relatively small amount of attention deserved? Not really

Ever since Pinterest came around, I started re-discovering the power of bookmarklets. Recently, Erez told you all about why you should use more bookmarklets and less browser extensions, and while I definitely still use several extensions, there are some websites that work better with bookmarklets. Custom Buttons allows you to turn simple bookmarklets into nice Firefox toolbar buttons.

With an immediate first glance, the title (or the need) sounds a bit stupid. The simple answer you would say – open Chrome and copy-paste the link of the webpage you have opened in Firefox. Absolutely possible… but to me that’s bit of a productivity killer especially when I might need to open more than a single page from Firefox to Chrome.

You’re probably familiar with browser extensions, but there are many other ways to customize your browser and tweak websites. The web isn’t a one-way, passive medium – you have the ability to remix websites you view on the fly, adding features or changing their look.

Remove everything from any webpage – the header, the sidebar, the advertisements – except for what you want to read. Then, if you like, send the article directly to Evernote or print it, clutter free. With Evernote Clearly, an extension for Firefox and Google Chrome, this only takes a couple of clicks. Clearly is created and supported by the Evernote team, so you know it’s not just some cheap hack.

You can think of this Chrome extension as the “Read-It-Later” for YouTube videos. It performs nearly the same job for YouTube videos as does the so named browser add-on does for webpages. The Chrome extension called Video History for YouTube has a few more tricks up its sleeve which makes managing all the YouTube videos you watch (or intend to) a little easier.

Browsers these days are much more powerful than they used to be. A large part of this power comes thanks to add-ons (as they are called for Firefox) and extensions (in Chrome). Browser extras let us do wonderful things, such as control how tabs behave, make webpages easier to read, and even have a better [...]

Remove features you don’t like from Gmail, leaving behind only the things you do. Gmelius is a simple extension for Chrome, Firefox and Opera that lets you turn off parts of Gmail you’re not interested in, including ads. Gmail’s interface is great, and largely clean, but recent changes at Google leave minimalists pulling their hair out.
