What is Your Favorite Browser App

Ok, l have a few for Firefox, but it can also be for Chrome or Explorer.

Been trying to find a decent online investment site lately, and did find a promising one, but it also has the annoying problem with bringing up a popup, after 5 minutes and then giving you a 2.5 minute countdown to click on the page, to show that you are still alive.

This is fine for banking, but not for wanting to occasionally check on how you are going, and having to go through signing in, every time, even with the auto filler it becomes a annoyance.

So ok, the app, tried several on page ones, but none worked, for Firefox, but then found this one...


Tab Reloader (page auto refresh)

Which is easy to use and refreshes the page every 5 minutes, or l ran it today, or been logged in for an hour, (10 seconds to a year time option).

And...

Owl - for Comfortable Reading

is another one of my top picks, or it allows webpages, Google Search backgrounds, and forums backgrounds to go from stark white to black.

Which is a huge reduction in eye strain over the day.

Other ones, do a bad job or pigs breakfast the text, this one is great, and is a lifesaver for Wikipedia, and other sites, that are into snow-blindness. You can also ignore sites if you want to leave the color scheme alone.

Ok, those are my best one, what are yours?

      I have a Youtube one, that is a godsend, but IE, FF and C are enough browsers for me.

    Google Translate

    For Chrome - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...hkkikfgjllcleb
    For Firefox - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...r-for-firefox/

    Adds an icon to the menu bar to translate pages, and allows you to highlight a passage of text which brings up an icon that allows a quick translation of the highlighted text.

    Another one I use is an addon/extension that allows you to access any article hidden behind a paywall. It only works in "developer mode" (on Chrome - I haven't tried it on Firefox). I won't provide a link as it may go against WF's rules, but you can look it up under "antipaywall". It also requires a bit of jiggery pokery, but works well on most sites.

    Apart from that I also use uBlock to block ads.

    Ok, guys thanks for those.


    Tried, the autorefresh one, for 8 straight hours today, and it stayed logged in, but it also froze Firefox, (8 hours, showed an inoperable login screen or frozen one).


    Had to restart the OS, but l have run it for 4 hours, with an operable login at the end, so still impressive for a 5 minute site.


    I also left 7Pro running for 8 hours online, and a long period online tends to cause issues, (IE cache builds up a lot of crap, etc) so cannot blame the app 100%.


    But it is free, so still impressed.

      I've tried CryptoTab Browser. I just wished it paid more than 3 cents a day.
      Are you earning more than this?

      Agreed. It's also my favorite browser to use and you earn BAT tokens for browsing also.

    I use Chrome and my favourite app is Grammarly. It improves my text and eliminates grammar errors.

    Yes, Google Chrome is no1 atm for a reason. It used to be Firefox about 5 years ago.
