Extensions , Apps and Add ons for your browser.

How many of you are still using the no-fun(hmmm IE) browser?

About a year ago my collegue and my friend told me about angry birds game for iphone and ipod touch.He said it was the number one selling game in Apple app store.When I downloaded the lite version in my ipod touch I was immediately addicted.Then I bought the full version.That is the first app I bought.

Why am I telling this in a post where I am going to talk about browser extensions? Lets see in the post.And I am going to tell you how to get angry birds for free.

I heavily use firefox and google chrome for my browsing.I am also an online shopper and I do most of my purchase online.

There is this cool add on for firefox called invisible hand.When I shop online for a particular product it shows a cool tool bar that whether the product I am looking at is available cheaper somewhere else.

If it is available for cheap somewhere else it displays where and how much it is cheaper.

 Another add on which I use is camelizer.I use amazon a lot.A lot in the sense really A LOT.I will post it in a different post why I use amazon a lot.This camelizer extension displays a graph for the product that I am seeing in amazon and its price ranges for a particular period.

 You can opt for 3 months 6 months 1 year etc to see the price variations for that particular product.It really helps in deciding whether to buy the product or to wait.And also it helps to decide whether the price that you are buying is a the best price.

 And then there is this cool iris.you can watch all your photos in picasa in a wall format and then you can navigate them in 3D.

Now they have extended cool iris for shopping as well. You can do the navigation in 3D.

So there are lot of addons and Apps are available for firefox and google chrome.Try them.

As I said I am going to tell you how to get angry birds for free.
