Internet Explorer 9 includes a new tab view that displays the sites you visit most frequently. The view can be accessed by clicking the new tab button or by navigating to about:Tabs in the address bar. Frequent sites listed are limited to 2 rows (10 total sites) on the screen but this can be customized with a simple registry tweak. With a little help you will be able to expand the most popular sites feature to create a useful dashboard to quickly load your favorite sites without typing in the addresses.
This guide will help you understand the advantages of bookmarklets over add-ons, how to install bookmarklets followed by a list of essential bookmarklets that should work across all popular browsers including Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, IE and Safari.
If you were to choose between a bookmarklet and a browser add-on, both offering similar functionality, here are a couple of reasons why you may want to go with bookmarklets:
1. Add-ins are browser specific so tomorrow if you decide to move from Firefox to Opera or Google Chrome, your favorite add-ins will no longer work. On the other hand, a bookmarklet written for Firefox is very likely to work with Safari or IE.
2. Some add-ins can break (or won’t install at all) if you try installing them on a newer version of the browser. And this is a big problem considering that new browser patches are released every couple of months.
3. Unlike add-ins that require installation, you can add and remove bookmarklets without restarting the browser.
4. Poorly coded add-ins can significantly slow down your browser while bookmarklets have negligible (if any) effect on memory usage as they are executed on-demand.

Auto-completing fields in a form can be a huge time saver and a major benefit to the user. For example, searching for email addresses is a chore that can easily made much more simple (and I dare say fun) with a splash of Ajax. TextboxList meets Autocompletion is one such example of an auto-complete script that takes a Facebook-esque approach to autocompletion. The implementation is crisp and useful, not to mention easy on the eyes.

Did it happen to you sometimes, when you are in a big rush and want to do something fast on your computer but things don’t go so fast and smooth? It’s because of all those windows and applications opened on your desktop, and you want to minimize them, move them, close them and so on… That’s pretty time consuming and when you’re in such a big rush, it can be pretty depressive too. Like sometimes you try to close that running program and it seems you can’t target that tiny “close” button in the upper right corner( no matter how unbelievable it sounds) so you need to click it few times more (It often happens to me when I’m in hurry, plus when I’m mad about something arghh… so frustrating).
But I made a list of Windows keyboard shortcuts so you can work much faster and with much more accuracy. Since I learned and applied this list of shortcuts, I had far less problems with managing tasks even when I’m in a rush. Everything goes faster and easier. It took some time and practice to learn to use these shortcuts in my daily computing but… it pays off big time believe me…
Don’t be surprised when you see how many of these you didn’t know even existed…
