Six of the best

Add-ons for your web browser

It’s time to get the most out of your web browsing experience. Check out these popular add-ons and click on the name of your browser to add them in.

1. Adblock Plus – (Download for IE, Firefox, Chrome)

This is brilliant because it blocks all ads on the web and leaves you with all the things you like about the net without the distractions.

2. URL fixer (Download for Firefox)

This is a nice little plug-in if you are time poor (aren’t we all?). It corrects typos in URLs that you enter in the address bar. For example, if you type “goggle.com” it will correct it to “google.com”.

3. Do Not Track Me (Download for IE, Firefox, Chrome)

Protect your privacy by blocking ads and cookies so you can browse the web without interference from advertisers and other interested parties.

4. LastPass Password Manager (Download for IE, Firefox, Chrome)

Find it difficult to remember all of your passwords? LastPass manages your password and auto-fills forms to make life that little bit easier. Your sensitive data is encrypted on your PC so others cannot access it.

5. Autopager (Download for IE, Firefox, Chrome)

If you’re sick of clicking “Next” to get to the next page, try AutoPager. It turns multi-page articles into one long page, automatically expanding the page when you get to the end so the scrolling never stops.

6. Xmarks (Download for IE, Firefox, Chrome)

Xmarks automatically backs up your bookmarks to the Cloud and they sync to your other computers and mobile devices so you enjoy the same bookmarking across all of your devices.
