They did announce plug-ins, you know.

And I don't know about you or other people, but for me it's browsing the Internet that matters most for a web browser.

People are disagreeing, but it's true. I stopped using Firefox because every feature it added was one that didn't add anything to the INTERNET but to the BROWSER. I think that's a pretty important distinction. It added clutter and took away from the web pages I visited. That's why I dropped it.



> They did announce plug-ins, you know.

Yes but so far I'm not aware of any. Not even the google toolbar AFAIKS.

For me plugins like online bookmarks (delicious), current page/site info (seoquake) and web debugging (firebug) have become 'must haves'. There are many others that I have tried and found I did't need but it is nice to have options.


I've never found plug-ins useful.

I use only one computer, so I only have one set of bookmarks, and I use MobileMe running through a mobile browser I set in Dropbox to sync everything.

Dunno why page info ever matters, really.

And I feel stupid saying this, but I've never had to debug a page. Things run more or less logically. If something messes up you just look at your code again.
