New Firefox extensions
December 14, 2005
Posted by Glen Murphy, Software Engineer, Firefox Team
It wasn't that long ago that I was eating Vegemite on toast back in my homeland of Australia, idly wondering what my future employer Google might have in store for me. Now, five weeks after arriving in the country and being exposed to the Firefox codebase for the first time, and thanks to the array of geniuses sitting around me, it gives me great pleasure to announce the launch of my first project,
Blogger Web Comments
to Google Labs.
Originally conceived by my friend and mentor,
Aaron Boodman
, this Firefox extension shows you what bloggers around the world are saying about the websites you are viewing. If that doesn't satisfy, you can easily start or join one of these conversations using your
Blogger
blog. We've had plenty of fun reading what people have had to say about our own sites and the sites we visit every day, but best of all is when we discover new groups of people interested in the same niche sites we have been visiting for years.
Today we're also introducing a test release of
Google Safe Browsing for Firefox
, which should help protect you from phishing sites.
Check them both out on
Google Labs
.
