With the year drawing to a close, and begin to exit the entrances of the style ‘most downloaded’, ‘most purchased’, ‘what’s best’, ‘most popular’, and so on. Today it is the turn of naming the 10 most downloaded Firefox plug-ins during 2008.
Here I start with the list:
1. AdBlock Plus (1,132,134 downloads per week)
The most downloaded extension for Firefox, which has garnered more success in 2008, has been AdBlock Plus. I suppose that as many as you will, can lock the advertising of Web sites that you visit.
2. Noscript (1,024,319 downloads per week)
Noscript limits the performance of JavaScript, Java and other plug-ins of the websites we choose. This preventive approach based on a white list prevents it from being able to exploit vulnerabilities (known or unknown) without loss of functionality.
