    Congrats for a neatly designed site.
    As for article these are useful extensions but if you are a die hard firefox fan like me it will be difficult to migrate to chrome. I have compiled a list of firefox addons equivalent to chrome extensions mentioned above on my blog

    Those who are sticking to firefox but will like to have the functionalities of above mentioned chrome extensions will find the article useful.
    Thanks and Cheers!!!

    Firefox was fine until it updated about the same as AVG 8, at which point both became sludge and I never did get them to recover. That’s what pushed me to Chrome. I was a diehard FF fan but…not any more.
