With the news of Google, Amazon, etc paying Adblock Plus to be whitelisted I was curious what else was out there. My buddy Aaron suggested uBlock. It's open source, actually uses less resources than ABP and uses the same ad block lists (EasyList, Peter Lowe's Adservers, EasyPrivacy).

Mozilla Tilt: A New Way of Visualizing the DOM http://mitchmckenna.com/post/9881/tilt-hacksmozillaorg-demo

Tilt represents a new way of visualizing a web page. I can it being a great tool for new developers to understand the DOM and the box model in particular. This tool creates a 3D representation of the document, with the purpose of displaying, understanding and easily analyzing the DOM. It is a firefox extension using a WebGL implementation to provide a rich user-experience, fun interaction and useful information, while taking full advantage of 3D hardware acceleration.

The implementation consists of a Firefox extension containing a 3D representation of a web page, as both a fun visualization tool and a developer-friendly environment for debugging the document's structure, contents and nesting of the DOM tree. Various information besides the actual contents will be displayed on request, regarding each node's type, class, id, and other attributes if available.

An Introduction to Firefox's Tab Candy http://mitchmckenna.com/post/7911/an-introduction-to-firefoxs-tab-candy

It’s hard to keep everything straight with dozens of tabs all crammed into a little strip along the top of your browser. Often, it’s easier to open a new tab than to try to find the open tab you already have. Worse, how many of us keep tabs open as reminders of something we want to do or read later? We need a way to organize browsing, to see all of our tabs at once, Enter: Tab Candy.

Why Tabs are on Top in Firefox 4 http://mitchmckenna.com/post/7752/why-tabs-are-on-top-in-firefox-4

Contributors who are active in the Mozilla community will know that this debate literally goes back for years. So in some respects this video will serve as quick summary of all of the different arguments both for an against the change. But the more interesting part isn't about looking back, it's about looking forward. Recently modern browsers have been transitioning to placing tops on top, and that decision isn't arbitrary, it isn't about fashion. The change to placing tabs on top isn't about one browser versus another browser, it's about the evolution of the Web as a platform.
