For those who have trouble spelling...

[ogryn]

I just found a great extension for Firefox. It adds an option when you right click a textbox or textarea to SpellCheck it using a localised dictionary (hence, I have en-uk installed)

It works magically, and saves you the faff of spell checking in another program. You can get it from: http://spellbound.sourceforge.net/install.html#header

And if you aren't using Firefox, then frankly, you're missing out.
:wave:


Also note, the easy forum code extension (it automatically adds quote tags around text on the clipboard for instance)

It's totally 100% free... no adverts... no nothing.

More screen-estate

Open Source

TBH, Opera and Firefox have very similar features (although I think Opera is an "all-in-to-start-with" browser, whereas Firefox comes in small and nippy, and then you add to it with whatever extensions you want/need [I find the Web Developer Toolbar Extension amazingly useful, see screenie]), you should try both and see which one you like better.

Personally, I like a small, slick, browser with a few extensions and Firefox forfills those needs perfectly.
