In my previous post, I mentioned how I still prefer Firefox over Google’s Chrome. Firefox proves to be a great help for aspiring affiliate marketers or for people who wants to earn money
online because of the large number of extensions that are available. Here is the list of my favorite Firefox Extensions:

Screengrab! is an extension for Firefox that makes it easy to save a web-page as an image. With it, you can save anything that you can see in a browser window – from a small selection, to a complete page.

Video DownloadHelper 3.2

Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer 2.1.0.12
If you use Firefox on more than one computer, you’ll want Foxmarks. Install Foxmarks on each computer, and it will work silently in the background to keep your bookmarks synchronized.
You can also log in to my.foxmarks.com to manage your bookmarks from any computer.

Google has released yesterday a new browser called Google Chrome for Windows XP and Vista. I have downloaded it and installed it to see how my sites will look in the new browser.

Everything looks fine except for one glitch: overlapping of the social bookmarking buttons after each every post. This is still tolerable since I can make the tweak on the css (I hope).

With regards to using Chrome as my default browser it is still a no-no. Although that Chrome proves to be much faster than Firefox and IE (see the review of Stephen Shankland), it still lacks the features needed by web developers and internet marketers. I am referring to themes, add-ons and plug-ins that use to customized browsing enhancements. Firefox contains tons of these features from third party developers.

Perhaps in the future if the Chrome will be supported by the plug-in developers, I might use it as a default browser but until then I will stick to Firefox.

I just hope that the Chrome browser conforms to W3C standards so that webmasters will not be developing “css hacks” for new browsers.

By the way if you need to view your website in different browsers, you may visit browsershots.org. The site will render a view of your website in multiple browsers.

This is an interesting video from Matt Cutts of Google. The video contains tips for starting entrepreneurs on how they can use Google to their advantage.

Some of the points that Matt answers are the following:

1. Using wordpress as a tool for your blogging site.
2. SEO tips
   a. Keyword selection
   b. Importance of content to Google search engine
   c. Using Google’s webmaster tool to monitor traffic and other related data.
3. Inclusion of your business in Google’s local directory.
4. Usage of images, javascript, flash … as the way Google reads it.

Though this video is short and is already 9-month old it still contains relevant information in getting into the top Google searches.

Best of Luck.
