    Browser Protect seems good for those who have children in their home. Good list Chand.

  • Chrome is taking place of Firefox, however still firefox can beat chrome due to its rich features.

  • Vector Graphics

    AdBlock Plus was once one of my favorite but i stopped using mozilla firefox as it became too slow comparing to Google chrome.. Now big fan of Google Chrome 😀

  • Hieu@ I do agree, WOT is one of the popular one. However sharing the same Add-ons that every one is sharing is not going to help any one.
    I though it will be great to share some thing new with my readers.

      You are right, but I am sure, many web surfers still ignorant about WOT. As a WOT community member I recommend every internet surfers to use it.
      The add-on Lazarus is new to me and I will try it soon. Thanks!
