Touch-friendly browsers in Ubuntu: Opera Mobile 11; add-ons for Firefox, Chrome
Using Ubuntu on a tablet or netvertible isn’t the nicest of fits and that’s understandable: Ubuntu is not a tablet OS after all.
There are, however, plenty of things one can do to make the experience of using Ubuntu on a tablet/touchscreen that little bit more more enjoyable.
Over the coming weeks I’ll be sharing a selection of tips, apps and ideas for doing just this. But first you’ll need something to read the posts in…

One reader asked if there was something similar for Thunderbird, and as luck would have it, yes there is! Props [...]
One Add-on Lets Firefox Use Ubuntu Notification System
Firefox uses its own notification system for alerting users to various events. These can easily be missed on an Ubuntu system as users are used to seeing notifications appear in the top right-hand corner. Thankfully the following Firefox add-on solves this by getting Firefox to use the Ubuntu notification system. No-more double-downloading because you missed [...]

Further to my previous post on “Why Google Chrome Should Be Your Default Browser“, i thought i’d post a boring-yet-useful list of 15 Chrome extensions that make an already awesome browser even more awesome… er. Adblockers Two ad-blockers are available as extensions for Google Chrome/ium. Adsweep blocks and hides adverts with a minimum of fuss. [...]
Silverlight For Linux
To view Silverlight embedded content on the web in Linux, simply install the ‘moonlight’ add-on for Firefox developed by Novell. (Them what make OpenSUSE!).
