  1. Re:Firefox Live Bookmarks by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on What's the Best RSS Reader Not Named Google Reader?

    Use Feed Sidebar. It uses Firefox bookmarks and displays all new items in a sidebar, but uses its own history. The downside is that the "read" status doesn't sync across devices.

    As a side note, could someone make a grease monkey script to make all links frmo /. run through coral?
    The slashdotter extension does that and much more.

    Unfortunately, the new beta thread navigation feature on slashdot breaks some of the AJAX features like expanding hidden comments in-line without a page reload :( Of course, you can just turn off the beta and everything works as expected.

    Not only are the reviews bad, but using it could get you banned from Facebook.

  8. Own your Facebook data by christopherfinke · · Score: 4, Informative · on Who Owns Your Social Data? You Do, Sort of

    After the whole Robert Scoble fiasco, I wrote a Firefox extension that saves the data from your Facebook friends' profiles (including their e-mail addresses) in CSV format as you view them so that you can import that data into other mail clients or social networks.

    DVD Jon was actualy a pretty knowledgeable hardcore geek way before he did the CSS crack.

    Wait, I thought it was Christopher Finke that did the CSS hack!

  10. Re:High-CPU Flash Ads by jasonwea · · Score: 1 · on How Much Are Ad Servers Slowing the Web?

    Ah yes, bug 345529. If my Firefox instance isn't quite new I get the crash whenever adding an exception. I have also had some randomish crashes as well which have completely disappeared since removing Flashblock.

    Luckily for me, removing Flashblock and leaving Adblock Plus doesn't seem to have negatively affecting my browsing experience much at all. EasyList does a great job here at blocking both flash and non-flash adverts.

    I'm no longer concerned about not having Flashblock. The only real reason I used it was to stop YouTube videos playing automatically and now I've discovered TubeStop. Any site with flash that annoys me (advert or otherwise, typically unrequested sound) gets their tab closed. Problem solved.
