  1. The Real List of Extensions to avoid. on Top 10 Firefox Extensions to Avoid · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here is the real list of problematic extensions. I found it when trying to figure out why my FF has become so slow that I have had to go back to IE (yes, imagine how bad it must be). My tabs just remain stuck on "Loading..." with a white page and nothing happens. And the memory usage keeps climbing. Yes even with all latest versions of everything. So I set out to minimize my add-ons to the barest that I must have.

    So far I have 4 I can't live without. Adblock, IE View Lite, Firefox View, and BugmeNot. Out of these I am assuming only an "Always on" types like Adblock can cause memory + slowdown issues. The others should not hurt much right?

    The blacklist has some popular extensions like Adblock, but usually its only the older versions with problems. Tab Browser Extensions and Tab Browser Preferences particularly stand out as they are not recommended.

    Oh and the article is drivel.

    Sigh. Another sheep argument with Irreducible Complexity. None of the candidates for this kind of "Gap" theology have stood up to scientific analysis. Other sheep have argued in a similar manner about the eye, the flagella, etc.

    I wish Richard Dawkins was made required reading for all the misguided lambs every Saturday night before churchday.

    Hand in there my friend, there is still hope. You can be saved.

    That doesn't make any sense, though, since photons always travel at the speed of light and can never rest.

    C'mon guys, surely you have heard of this extension by now. Never click those tiny page numbers again. This is indispensable these days when all the information on the web seems to be buried in "forums" of this and that.

    Sheesh has everyone forgotten newsgroups? Thats what they are there for.
