Most of the people don't realise that browser extensions might  be dangerous .But why they download & installing it?.May be  they are too lazy to download and install a software with the same functions as the extension, or  it may  save some time or it is a faster way to explore lots of features in a short time.After installation, the malicious extension can gain complete control of the victim’s profile and  may have access to your data.By installing these extensions, you give your browser additional functionality unknowingly . So  don’t install an app or extension unless you trust its creator.

If you regularly download files from RapidShare or Megaupload , you may  frustrated with the annoying time delay for downloading a file from it. Earlier I had  posted some tools like MDownloader  , Rapidshare Plus , .SkipScreen .Here  are two browser extension  tools available for Google Chrome -  RapidShare Download Helper & MegaUpload Download Helper .These will automate the download process for you:

  • Auto-detect countdowns
  • Auto-start downloads when countdowns are over
  • Select download folder for all your downloads.

These extension  tools automatically monitors time limitations for downloading files and auto-starts download of the selected file. So, you can simply initiate the download process and thereafter it can automatically take care of the download process.There is no need not stay on RapidShare/Megaupload sites due to time limitations waiting for the download to start. You can continue browsing while this extension does its job.

Iterasi-logo  takes bookmarking pages to the next level. It actually allows you to save pages in their current state.

 

Iterasi is your personal Web archive, allowing you to snapshot exact copies of Web pages that will be there for you forever. Pages are kept in your secure account where they can be searched, shared via email and published via RSS or a widget.Instead of just saving links, you use Iterasi to save all of the information on a page, including images and links, a process it calls “notarizing.”

 

When selected, the Bookmarklet runs some JavaScript in your browser which grabs the URL you are viewing and sends it to our datacenter in the cloud. Once there our hardware will go get the page, notarize it, and save it into your account. Plus, since a bookmarklet is basically a link, the iterasi Bookmarklet solution works with any browser.

 

Iterasi-new

 

To use Iterasi, you need to install its toolbar for Firefox or Internet Explorer. When you’re on a page you want to save, you click on the notarize button that Iterasi adds to your browser.While logged into your account, you can organize your pages, make notes, and share them with others.
