Doudou - May 20th, 2010

I don’t know if you know about that website: betaseries.com

Yeah it’s in French! But it allow you to track your TV Show and it help me a lot! (Yes, i watch too much TV Show… :-D !)

I made an extensions for Chrome who will add directly a link on each line of the planning or episodes table to directly search it on an engine of your choice. By default, I setup it for the newsgroup, but you can add other search engine ;-) .

Like that,your life become easier!

Say thanks to: BetaSeries Linkify!

Doudou - May 20th, 2010

Hi all!
I just moved my Web browser to Chrome.
For me Firefox will die more and more if the Dev don’t solve the memory issue!
I don’t know for you but for me, it’s really borring to not be able to let a browser open more than 4 hours.
I know that’s the fault of the extensions but my geek side need them :-) .

The most important extensions who were keeping me to moved to chrome were: AdBlock, GreaseMonkey, FoxyProxy.
Also the GUI is different, make disappear the “File / Edit / About” menu.
But anyway, there are alternative :

  • AdBlock will become AdThwart
  • GreaseMonkey will disappear, but 20% of the script of it are natively compatible, for the other, most of them are using jQuerry. But there are tips to make them working, I will take time to make a post later about it ;-) .
  • FoxyProxy will become Proxy Switchy!. But, (again…) the design of chrome is made to use the general system proxy settings. That’s good, but not so much…! It make the life easier for 99% of people. But sometimes, in a work environment you desire to proxify only one tab to that proxy. But anyway, it make his main goal! And even Firefox isn’t able to make it for one tab due to a bug unresolved since 29 may 2008!

So it’s time for me to say goodbye to that fox who make me discover a lot of knowledge through the Web!

And Welcome to Chromium !
