browser-extensions 4

Straive turned on Chrome Enterprise Premium on my browser. This means: No extensions or DevTools. No downloading, copying, or printing (of work stuff). No incognito mode. Every page, text pasted, file attached, is sent to the admin. Since Edge is my primary browser, I now open Chrome for office work only when needed. So, my guess is: I’ll check mail/chat less frequently. I’ll have fewer client documents to review. I’ll have fewer demos I can build. This might make me more productive - though it’s probably not what was intended.

Using the Google Browser Sync extension for Firefox, you can access your bookmarks, tabs, history, saved passwords and cookies from any machine. You can browse from office, go back home, and continue browsing where you left off. Gina Trapani of Lifehacker says Google Browser Sync is not a privacy risk after all.

But then, I should also keep in mind that Mozilla is open source. So they’ll keep coming out with cool stuff like Mozilla’s Bayesian spam filter and type ahead find. via Boing Boing

Just what I needed. A google toolbar, except that it’s not by Google. Wonder why they didn’t think of it…
