POPSHow to Install Extensions in Google Chrome Interesting but i'll pass on this one. ____________________________________ For valid extensions, the Installed extensions section in the Extensions manager, displays the confirming information. Uninstalling or disabling the extensions is also just a matter of a single click from the extensions page. But all this brouhaha for just three sample extensions! It could be a big letdown, if not for third party developers working behind the scenes on extensions of their own. I can straightaway suggest to you two sites that could empower your browser by a bit… Chromeextensions Chromeplugins These sites are not associated to Google but are merely a place for independent developers. But they are the groundbreakers in every sense of the word as Chrome tries to become the internet’s Swiss army knife like Firefox. The salvo has been fired by Google. With time it could be a toss-up between browsers. We just have to pick the browser we want.

POPSSo Much For Health Care Reform Anybody following the money on this issue knew we'd never see any real progress, and now that's been confirmed. Corporations pay to keep health expenses high, so that's where they'll stay for yet another administration. This has been going on for six decades.

POPSAddons For Firefox - Fireshot - An invaluable web tool. This for me is as invaluable a tool for storing sharing and documenting my journey across the web. It can take screenshots or full web pages in several formats. Often I use it as a sort of read it later type thing when I come across something I just don't have the time to read at that moment. Or for capturing something on screen that cannot be saved or stored otherwise, including many forms of flash graphics. And all from an unobtrusive button like the Clipmarks one or in the context menu and /or tools menu. Try it out, it really is a fun easy to use and powerful tool. All in all I rate it 5/5 as have over a million others.

POPSBetterPrivacy 1.29 - get rid of those flash cookies!! Ever wondered why you are still tracked though you tried everything to prevent it? Google now uses flash cookies that don't even get recognised by most cookie filters and don't expire until 2038. Supposedly Microsoft are to be using something similar with Bing as do Yahoo. On my 1st use of it it removed 127 flash cookies that didn't show up when I use other "cookie cleaners" While you cannot always ensure your privacy, by using the right tools you certainly improve your odds.

POPSObama White House Has Secret Plan To Harvest Personal Data From Social Networking Websites 
Other troubling issues include: extremely broad secrecy terms preventing the vendor from disclosing to the public or the media what information is being captured and archived (page 7, “Restriction Against Disclosure”) wholesale capturing of comments by non-White House staff on publicly accessible sites capturing of content of any type (text, graphics, audio, or video) capturing of comments by both Obama critics and supporters, with no restriction as to how the White House would use the information. ] This is the third controversy involving the White House internet operations in less than a month. First, Obama’s New Media operation asked supporters to send information about critics of the White House health care effort to a White House email. This provoked a storm of criticism and the White House retreated. Then large number of people complained of getting email spam from the White House supporting the President’s health care position.
