Google Extensions for Firefox
Firefox is one of the most popular browsers on the Internet because it was the first application that provided tab browsing, being regarded as the most powerful rival for the classic Internet Explorer. As you probably know, Firefox is a well developed browser that provides support for themes and extensions, tiny tools able to increase the functionality of the application. Some time ago, Google released Toolbar for Firefox, an interesting add-on for Mozilla’s browser meant to add a popup blocker for the program as well as quick access to Google’s services.
If you didn’t know, Google owns a separate page to present the most interesting extensions selected by the company’s employees and able to enhance the performance of the products developed by the search giant. Although at this time there are only 4 Firefox extensions available, the search giant really wants to promote the add-ons to access the Google services faster.
“Google Browser Sync for Firefox is an extension that continuously synchronizes your browser settings – including bookmarks, history, persistent cookies, and saved passwords – across your computers. It also allows you to restore open tabs and windows across different machines and browser sessions,” Google says in the description of the Google Browser Sync extension.
In the past, Google also tried to create an optimized version of the Microsoft browser and bundle it with the products developed by the company. At that time, the search giant designed a separate page for Internet Explorer optimized for Google that was very similar with the one published by Yahoo for its own version of the browser. The giant portal Yahoo criticized Google for its lack of inspiration, sustaining the website was built by the company’s employees so it’s not possible that Google used a template.
