I am going through yet another change of my browser habbits. Take a look at the screenshot below, and I’ll explain what I mean further down.<\/p>\n

\"Firefox<\/p>\n

There are two things to notice here.<\/p>\n

Firstly, I’ve changed the way I use the bookmark area or “Personal Toolbar Folder”, as it is called. I used to have there links to websites that I visit very often, like Google and Bloglines. For some reason, the number of sites that I need quick access to have increased recently. So, all of my quicky bookmarks weren’t fitting the area.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I did. I left the bookmarklets as they were. Bookmarklets are those special bookmarks that allow me to actually do something with the page that I am viewing. Currently, I have four bookmarklets up there:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Bookmark<\/strong> – bookmark current page at my del.icio.us.<\/li>\n
  2. Subscribe<\/strong> – find RSS or Atom feeds in the current page, and let me add them to my Bloglines account.<\/li>\n
  3. Email<\/strong> – send the URL (with optional quote) of the current page via GMail.<\/li>\n
  4. Blog<\/strong> – edit the post for this blog with URL (and optional quote) to current page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The rest of the stuff I separated into two folders:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Quickies<\/strong>, which contains links to a few websites and webservices that visit often. Most of my Google services are in there, as are links that I need for work.<\/li>\n
    2. Projects<\/strong>, which contains links to my blogs, their administration interfaces, and the like.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      This setup works very well for me. I can still access stuff very fast. And I still have plenty of real estate on my bookmark area. I’m not even using the half of it yet.<\/p>\n

      Second browser habbit that I’ve changed recently has to do with open tabs. I used to have one tab open at all times – my feed subscriptions at Bloglines. When I read any items and want to open original website, I use middle mouse button to open a link in the new tab.<\/p>\n

      With my recent constant use of GMail and Google Calendar, I realized that I have three tabs open. And I use only Bloglines one to launch new tabs. And every time I do, I have to jump from Bloglines tab, across GMail and Google Calendar, to a new tab, and then go back again. <\/p>\n

      Too far to travel. So what I did was reordered my tabs a bit. Now both GMail and Google Calendar are the left-most tabs, and Bloglines follows them. While I am still getting used to the setup, I can feel the productivity difference already.<\/p>\n

      So, what are your browser habbits and when was the last time you changed something about them?<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
