Extension/Plugin of the month (POTM): September
POTM (Plugin Of The Month) is a new feature that I plan to post every month to promote the plugin/extension that has made the biggest impact on either the way I browse or assisted me in producing web pages.
For the month of September the Extension I’ve been loving most has been Google’s Browser Sync.
What this Firefox extension does is enable you to synchronize your bookmarks, history, cookies, saved passwords and even open tabs with your Google account. This means when you use any computer (with FF and web access) you will be able add this extension and carry on browsing where you left off!
All the tabs you had open when you last had Firefox open, whether on that computer or another one can be restored or you can start a new session. Your bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, auto complete etc. can all be restored.
I say “can” because everything is optional. You can choose to sync as much or as little as you want and you can ask Google Browser Sync to encrypt all you info (this means the first time you use it on a new PC you will be asked for a password/pin).
A word of warning! If you use this feature in an internet café be sure to logout of Google sync before leaving.
This month so far I’ve been loving WebDeveloper Toolbar. I’ll let you know in next month if it is still my number 1 extension for October.
