Make browser give a custom made note when re-visiting websites

Lately I’ve been browsing through hundreds of ads on a website similar to craigslist.

Due to the similarities of the ads, I have to read through almost the entire ad to decide if it’s interesting or not. For the same reason, I’ve been reading many of the same ads many and more times even though I figured out the first time it wasn’t…

Why do add-ons become incompatible when upgrading firefox

My default browser is Chrome, but when I occasionally use Firefox for whatever reason there is often an update to it. Almost every time I update Firefox some of my add-ons become incompatible. Why is that? Why doesn’t this happen in Chrome?

Can I sync my Evernote bookmarks into a major browser’s bookmarks bar?

Call me crazy, but I think the bookmark bar provides a good purpose. It’s right there, and that’s invaluable to UX — no second layer required.

But vanishingly few services care to integrate, it seems. Right now, I am mostly looking for a way to sync evernote bookmarks into the browser’s bookmarks bar/menu/etc.

I have special…

Does Adblock slow down Firefox?

How do I disable Facebook "infinite scroll"?

It’s really annoying the way Facebook constantly loads extra items when I scroll down.

Either show me all unseen content right away, or let me click the button to load more – either would be fine.
