A great site for WebDesigners

I found this great site browsershots.org from Zigire.net which helps web designers to view their website in different browsers.

clipped from www.zigire.net As regular readers will know I’m close to finishing my latest project and so I’ve been testing it across multiple browsers on my PC: IE7, Firefox and Opera. However, I don’t have access to web browsers running on Linux or a Mac. This is where browsershots.org comes in, it. A very handy free tool. Supported browsers/operating systems: Linux: Dillo 0.8, Epiphany 2.14, Epiphany 2.16, Firefox 1.5, Galeon 2.0, Iceweasel 2.0, Konqueror 3.5, Mozilla 1.7, Opera 9.2, Opera 9.10 Windows: Firefox 1.5, IE5, IE5.5, IE6, IE7 Mac: Firefox 2.0, Safari 2.0

Greasemonkey Script to show 100 Google search results

Nice script to show 100 search results per page on Google.

clipped from www.freakitude.com By Default Google displays 10 search results per page. Google 100 is greasemonkey script that will show 100 search results per page instead of default 10. You can also customize the number of results per page: 1. Visit Google 2. Go to Tools -> Greasemonkey -> User Script Commands 3. Choose “Set Google results per page” 4. Enter a number between 1 and 100 To use this userscript you need to have firefox and greasemonkey firefox extension already installed. Click here to install the Google 100 userscript.

Firefox Extensions - my reviews / recommendations

It has been very long since I have started using Firefox and

the best part of it which I like other than tabbed browsing is

the extensions. I have tried and used a large no. of extensions
