  1. How many of these are mac compatible? The shortage of add-ons for Mac is the main reason I don’t use Chrome exclusively. Evernote web clipper, for example is only for Windows. Hopefully the developers will get up to speed soon, ’cause right now Firefox is still my browser of choice for developing and Chrome is just for surfin’

  2. This is really useful. TFS.

  3. that is an interesting note. My test machine has Firefox 3 on it as well.
