Greatest Firefox Extension Evar

[KeyserSoze]

Just found this two days ago, highly reccomend it. Install the extension, go through categories, pick your interests. Then the extension adds a toolbar to FF, and if you're bored....hit the "stumble" button to take you to a random page geared to your tastes. It's amazing how many kick a$$ pages I've found. Sort of the 'del.icio.us' concept.

If this is old news....then I blame you all for not telling me sooner.

Where do you guys see anything about spyware? And the registering is to help rate sites. But you do not need to use that part.

Is this spyware?
No. Stumbleupon does not automatically collect any personal or system information from your computer. Stumbleupon records information you explicity provide such as your ratings of websites. This is necessary to share the sites with other community members and improve your future stumbles. Associating personal information with your userid, such as a name, nickname, or webpage is entirely voluntary and not required to use the StumbleUpon toolbar.

Didn't work when i tried it a while back, maybe it'll work now.

 

[fitzov]

indeed a great web-surfing tool

I've been using Stumble for almost a year now; web-browsing is boring without it for me.

EDIT: In fact, Stumble is the only reason I prefer Firefox to Opera, as there's no Stumble for Opera that I know of.

And also: not a Firefox estension per-se, but pretty cool nonetheless:

Pandora Music Genome Project

Stumble Upon is awesome

 

[fustercluck]

Seems to work, unlike the last time i tried it. Thanks. One of those things that makes Firefox uniquely great.

The first page i stumbled upon was celebrities playing pingpong :Q

Ugh....it creates a new toolbar? Why can't it be in a sidebar, or just another button on the existing toolbar?

It's pretty easy to configure, but it is a little annoying. Just go into the options of it and you'll be able to figure it out. Can also press ctrl+F11 and it will disappear and come back when you want to use it.

Wow I finally installed teh Stumbleupon extension after reading this post.. Dayumn! My bookmarks grew by a whole bunch, most of the websites that you "StumbleUpon" are great. A+ Extension.

 

[StevenYoo]

StumbleUpon is an AMAZING plugin

 

[MikeyLSU]

thanks, I didn't know about this plugin, and it really does bring up some interesting sites.

 

[Ika]

i had stumble for a little while, but then i realized i never used it so i just got rid of it.

 

[Rudee]

Deleted it.

 

[MangoTBG]

I tried this a while ago. I thought it was really cool at first, but then I got bored. Thanks, though. My favorite extensions: BetterSearch, Google Bookmarks, SiteAdvisor and Adblock.

 

[KeyserSoze]

Just a bump for this. Been using it the last few days, and finding a lot of great sites all over the place. For me, this is now the most essential extension. (Yeah, right up there with adblock.)
