New Google Firefox extensions
Fresh from the Google labs come out 2 new Firefox extensions:
- Google Safe Browsing for Firefox
Google Safe Browsing is an extension to Firefox that alerts you if a web page that you visit appears to be asking for your personal or financial information under false pretences. This type of attack, known as phishing or spoofing, is becoming more sophisticated, widespread and dangerous. That’s why it’s important to browse safely with Google Safe Browsing. By combining advanced algorithms with reports about misleading pages from a number of sources, Safe Browsing is often able to automatically warn you when you encounter a page that’s trying to trick you into disclosing personal information.
- Blogger Web Comments for Firefox
Blogger Web Comments for Firefox is an extension that makes it easy to see what bloggers are saying about a page you’re viewing in Firefox and even make your own blog post about it, all without leaving the page you’re on.
Blogger Web Comments seems like a fun and usefull tool. It also has an “Add Comment” option wich unfortunately works only if you have a blogger account. I just hope that Technorati comes up with a similar extension with a more flexible blogging functionality (allowing multiple blogging platforms)
