How to make Mozilla Firefox extremely streamlined
The following guide will show you how to make Mozilla Firefox extremely streamlined without there being any loss of functionality.
If you follow this guide through, you're Firefox will end up looking similar to this (the only difference might be the theme you decide to use):
Hide Menubar (this will obviously hide the menu-bar. Simply press the Alt key to make the menu-bar come up when you have to use it.)
Smart Stop/Reload (this will combine the Stop and Reload buttons, making them one; this is what it's like in Google Chrome.) 4. Since you removed the search-box in Firefox, you'll want to have Firefox still be able to perform Google searches without leaving the page you're on, right? To be able to perform Google searches using the address-bar in Firefox, you simply have to do the following: Type 'about:config' in the address-bar. You'll get a warning message; ignore it and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise'. In the filter box, type 'keyword.URL'. Modify the string to http://www.google.com/search?btnG=Google+Search&q= After doing this, you'll be able to perform Google searches directly from your address-bar without having to use the search-box. This is similar to how Google Chrome functions. 5. Install a good compact theme of your choice from addons.mozilla.org You're done! I hope you enjoy your new streamlined Firefox setup. PS. I understand that some people out there may find this setup to be overly minimalistic; you're free to change/not change whatever you wish/don't wish to change.

Google Chrome
After hearing positive things about the latest version of Google Chrome, I decided to check it out. I figured it was time since the last time I tried the browser out was on its initial release day.
I find Google Chrome to be a promising browser - its native UI is a lot better than the one Firefox has, there's now extension/theme support, and it receives a score of '100' on Acid3 rendering tests. When Google Chrome came out, it lacked extension/theme support, and it didn't receive a score of '100' on Acid3 tests. This shows that the browser has been evolved well. Will I make Google Chrome my default browser? No - I will be sticking to Mozilla Firefox until there's a larger stock of extensions available for Chrome, but to be honest with you, I think I'd make Google Chrome my default Internet-browser if only it wasn't for the lack of extensions.
The greatest Mozilla Firefox "extensions" I've come across thus far
Here are the most essential Mozilla Firefox extensions I've come across thus-far:
AdBlock Plus (*NOTE* I highly recommend that you install the EasyPrivacy filter subscription for this.) AdBlock Plus: Element Hiding Helper (*NOTE* I don't understand why this feature does not come with AdBlock Plus by default - it is nearly as good as AdBlock Plus, and is developed by the same developer.) ClippingsGreasemonkeyHide Menubar (*NOTE* This extension will soon be obsolete since the current beta version of Mozilla Firefox has native support for hiding the menubar.) Image ZoomInline Google DefinitionsIs.GD Creator (*NOTE* I just recently discovered this; highly recommended.) Nightly Tester Tools (*NOTE* Nightly tester tools is only recommended if you enjoy using nightly/beta builds of Firefox.) NoScript (*NOTE* This extension is overkill for some users, but for many, it is considered as being an essential add-on.) Rotate ImageScreengrabSite LauncherThere you go. That is my list of the most essential Mozilla Firefox extensions I've come across thus-far. Each of the add-ons I listed are hot-linked to their respective download page at addons.mozilla.org. Simply click on the add-on name to read the full description and reviews; this will ultimately help you decide whether you want to install a particular extension or not.
