  • Daniel ZiltenerSaturday, December 25, 2010 8:10:46 AM

    You know, the problem with all extension collections is that people just post extensions, so for one thing there isn't any and for some other thing there are a dozen ones, the very most of which just are crappy/buggy/duplicates with less features. And that's annoying.
    But besides that, it's a nice "addition" (if I'm right it's just improved UserJS?)

    Interesting, the russian word for a browser is masculine, and the polish one is feminine grammatical gender.
