Forecastfox

Now this is one crazy extension. I've been saving this one for this article because I didn't want to shove all the crazy ones into the first one.



Forecastfox provides international weather forecasts from AccuWeather.com and displays it in any toolbar or statusbar with this highly customizable and unobtrusive extension. Too concise? Well, read on.

You can use a US zip-code or you can easily find your town or city by using the built-in search tool. It is unobtrusive and lightweight, yet can be customized to display nearly as much data as the leading desktop weather programs. If you can't find what you are looking for, click the weather icons displayed to open the AccuWeather.com" forecast for your location. A slider, similar to a pop-up notification for all completed downloads, pops up from the bottom right corner of your screen when the current conditions are updated. You can even set what appears in it or disable it.

Forecastfox lets you customize everything, from the number of days to be forecasted, to the content of the tooltips. You can decide whether to see the labels, and you can decide what toolbar to place Forecastfox in.

The profile system lets you easily change between multiple locations. Each profile saves all of its own settings, including the tooltips and labels, the number of days forecasted, and the location of the forecast. There is even a setting that allows you to automatically rotate between the profiles at a given time interval.

To download the extension, click here.

FoxyTunes

Tiny, unobtrusive, customizable, multiplatform - works on MS Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, supports more than 30 media players; will support more players in future versions; automatically finds and displays album covers, music web searches; these are just a few of the features of this amazing extension. FoxyTunes has been praised for its compatibility with almost every player out there and well deserves it.

A very good article. However, the Link for Sage on page 3 had a <br> tag with it, so one has to manually copy paste it into a download manager without the <br> also page 5 does not contain any download links for PDF Download / Adblock Plus

Good collection of extensions. The download links are not active for PDF Download and Adblock Plus. Please take care.
