Abandon Your Mouse & Click On Links With Your Keyboard

If you’ve been reading my articles for quite some time, you’ll know that I am quite keen on keyboard shortcuts.   But the one thing that has eluded me until now was being able to abandon the mouse altogether and use the keyboard to “click” on webpage links.    Well now you can, thanks to a Firefox extension called “Mouseless Browsing”.

I’ll be honest upfront and say that it can be a little irritating at first to use.   It’s also not very visually appealing as you can see below.  But if you persevere with it and work with it, you’ll start to realise that it can be quite a useful tool that can save you time by not having to reach for the mouse everytime you need to click on a link.

Quickly Create Temporary Email Addresses with YopMail

Yopmail Firefox AddonSure there are plenty of services that offer free, temporary and anonymous disposable email addresses. What makes YopMail a bit different is how easily you can create and access them. YopMail provides Firefox, IE and Opera extensions that allow you to create an email address and access the mailbox for that address in seconds.

To get started, just download the addon for your browser. If you’re using Firefox or IE, download and install this search addon. Once it’s installed, just select YopMail.com from your search drop-down list. Enter in a random string of characters, and that will become your @yopmail.com email address. Hit enter, and you’ll be taken to the mailbox for that address. Couldn’t be easier!

Let’s face it, no matter which operating system you are using, you got to surf the web. It seems like a good idea if your browser automatically knew what you had bookmarked on the other operating system and you don’t have to customize your settings, passwords and search pages all over again.

Well if you use Firefox, and want to achieve something like this, then read on:
