If I don't exist then you shouldn't be talking to me. It'll only make your psychosis worse.Quote:

Except the hallucinatory conversations have become much, much more fun than real ones. I find talking to what is technically myself quite entertaining.Quote:

I can then sticky the video to all workspaces, and continue to browse the web and flip around my desktops
Much more usable than having video confined to the browser
(added benefit, is the videos are streamed in H.264, rather than flash's crappy swf)

Actually the flash video format is flv, and with flash > 9 it supports H.264 encoding :pQuote:

well, whatever
streaming H.264 via flash via a browser plugin pegs my cpu @ 20%
streaming H.264 straight to my video player = 10%
Actually mario it does have an extension to play youtube videos directly from the browser while surfing the web
I tried to install the adblocker for Chrome...gave up after 30 minutes of trying to sort things out. Not exactly user-friendly...
Really? Maybe you're doing it wrong. I googled "Chrome adblocker", hit the second or third link, clicked "install addon" and bye-bye ads.Quote:

Also, the flash blocker is really nice, it blocks all flash until you click on the element you want to activate. Makes surfing so much faster, then there's a add-on tool that, while watching any video in your browser, you click it's button and it dims the entire page except fore the video so that all there is to see is the video, cinema like :)
Ah, that's better. Thanks!
I wasn't going to say anything about it the first three times I saw this thread.
But you have given SO MANY THANKS, Jesus of Suburbia. And unnecessarily. And I shall keep on topic now that this is out of my system. Please do not thank me for this post Jesus.
This topic has already been delt with.Quote:

Hehe I like the picture at the start of the thread. Opera won't let you inside completely... I like that in a woman. Opera+me=<3

I've got 15 add-ons installed (literally) which together make it the perfect browser :) I've got a nice OSX skin that integrates with my windows visual theme, I've got smooth scrolling, i've got my tabs in a sidebar on the left and I can scroll through them by mouse-wheel, etc :)
Chrome is OK.
Opera I've not tried
IE should die in a fire
Incase you liked chromes speed, you can bring it to firefox via this:Quote:

Opera's new beta is now the fastest browser available on Macs. I think it's also the fastest on Windows. Go opera :D
