@sean000: Convenience wise, I felt more at home when I was using Xmarks. Seeing that they are now financially stable due to awesome Lastpass, you might want to consider looking into them. Xmarks is dead simple and offers to remember passwords too (Lastpass is basically that too). I think they have a procedure to…

@DarrenL: Last time I checked, they didn't download at all for some ads. But, you can reduce the chances of flash downloading by enabling 'click-to-play' option in content settings.

@elscorcho2686: Now that's just plain creepy......

@PrairieMoon: Probably, web tetris is enough :D

@SBM_from_LA: Well, I have had a good experience with Tuneup Utilities in general. I frequently use CCleaner to clean my registry. So I haven't had any registry problems from tuneup utilities due to the extra cleaning done by CCleaner (but you don't do that everyday right?). Tuneup doesn't become bloated at all! The…

@Shakazula: A very good way to make a secure password indeed! But it would be better if you could add some way to get numbers into it. Alphanumeric passwords are much harder to crack then just alphabetic.

What about Tuneup Utilities? Awesome feature set and is almost a tool-set for all tweaks! Changes your boot screen and login screen right out of the box! How many things can do that?

@areaman12: Agreed. Netvibes is a very good start-page for those with a blazing fast connection. But for those on dail-up or equivalents, it's too heavy on bandwidth.

@cyberguy91: No he means that whatever you do, your 4+ year old CPU is going to fry. If you have a 4+ year old laptop/desktop (like me) you should reconsider using the internet or getting a new computer. But that's my 2 cents.

@suryamp: I'm extremely sorry. It looks like it didn't upload. I have tried 5 times till now. I'll get the link:

@Whitson Gordon: Actually there is a script that makes the new tab into a local html page. I modified the html page to look like it but more simplified.

@tjeremiah: Seriously! I really want to see a Lifehacker App! Possibly with more cool stuff!

@Kaelri: Yup. Mine too. I still can't believe that threads like this exist!

@msweston: I know. But as soon as the balloon lands on someone, it's fun to see it freeze on impact.

Stress should be kept on the 'Was I prepared as I thought?' part.

@curtis07: Yeah I forgot that you need to press TWO times to fastdial. In my phone its once. Well that's 66%!

@pkl007: Thanks for the heads-up!

@MyTQuinn: Well you can type about:plugins and disable the PDF viewer plugin.

@hal.hockersmith: Also you may want to keep 911 on fast dial to save presses.

Well, it looks like all browsers have this feature. But I specifically listed chrome having this feature because it supports built-in pdf viewing. This provides a seamless experience. And since it can play mp3's quite well, I feel that it is an all-in-one solution.
