Going back to firefox and something about rm

11.52: Okay. I've had it with Chrome. There are just too many things I miss, so I'm going back to firefox. Here is a list of pro and cons for future reference (from a Chrome point of view):
Pros: Faster than firefox, feels less bloater, better use of space, address bar and url bar are integrated, netbanking works.
Cons: Will not save user logins (getting annoying. Really, it shouldn't be a problem), not possible to delete items in the drop down of the address bar, doesn't have the right click-> google search when something is highlighted (why-oh-why?), can't set about:blank to home page, few add-ons, no about:config functionalities.
Overall, I think it's pretty obvious that Chrome is a much younger browser than firefox. Unfortunately, I think all the cons outweigh the pros, and I'll use firefox until the problems are corrected. So long, Ch(romeo).

11.53: Wee, add-ons to firefox. Following previously written thingy. The old link to Adblock is dead, here is the correct one. Also trying to install STOP! Hammertime even though it's not updated for my current version of firefox.

12.07: Nonono, the STOP! Hammertime add-on is not working. Crap.

12.09: Okay, now removing buttons and collapsing the tool bars.

12.10: Tada.

12.11: Okay, I want the terminal to ask me every time I delete an item.

12.24: Hmm, apparently more difficult to find on google than I expected. My google-fu is weak. Ok, so I added alias "rm='rm -i'" and "alias kk='ll'" to my .bashrc. However, I did find a nifty guide to placing removed files in the Trash folder.

12.29: Last thing: Evolution. Don't really like it yet. There are still things that annoy me, byt thunderbird is just as bad. Gah.
