Well this may sound as a repetition to the blog post
‘
Browser for Law Students’ but trust me its not. We continue here what we left
over there and thus recommend reading that blog post and then coming here even
if you are not a law student there is some real good stuff over there. However
you may want to check out that post also as we won’t be repeating the addons
and scripts mentioned in that post again over here.
1)
Block those Ads
and Annoying Popups :- Ok most of you would be knowing about this but still
for the heck of it install
AdBlock
,
AdblockPlus and
PoperBlocker in Chrome. Yes install all 3 until you have some dirt cheap laptop
running on low memory otherwise install Poper Blocker and either of the two AdBlock
or AdBlockPlus. In Firefox install
AdBlockPlus and
AdBlockPlus Pop-up Addon.
2)
Better Youtube – Install
Speedbit Video Accelerator
to eliminate buffering of videos. (Be careful what you agree to heck you are a
law student. Software tries to install third party software and change your
homepage etc amongst other things.) Use
this
script to download
videos from Youtube and this to download
subtitles and
this for theatre mode, quality
selector, stop buffering, forward, backward buttons and much much more. (Unless
you know what you are doing install
Tampermonkey
in Chrome ,
Greasemonkey
in Firefox and
Greasekit in Safari
Before installing any script.) Firefox users install
BYTubeD
to batch download Youtube videos or playlists. (Note – Yes its discontinued but
it still works on 99% of videos.)
3
) Better
Facebook – Tell me honestly how many times have you fell in the trap of
turning Facebook to red or green and then eventually ending in spamming people.
Well use this
script to
change Facebook’s theme, full size image on hovering them, hide parts of page, filter
news feed and much more than you will ever need.
4)
Better Web – This
script automatically changes
to SSL encryption on many daily used known sites. This
script removes the delay in
navigating to the download links on many upload sites such as Rapishare,
4shared etc. As a law student you feel
obliged to write nothing less than 500 words in a comment but often when you
click post on the Times of India website the page reloads and the text is gone.
Now no more use this
script
to retains text entered into textareas. Use this
script to click simple text
URL into clickable links. This
script to avoid ad.fly links or other paid link redirectors.
5)
Panic Button – Use this chrome
extension
to hide all your tabs at once with one
single button and restore them later. Might come in handy during those
incognito modes!
Note – Some of
the scripts may be browser, plugin specific and may not work on all browsers.
Kindly check the compatibility of script prior to its installation.
