Google pays to refer firefox....

November 5, 2005 6:02 PM | | Comments (4)

In a surprising move, google are now paying adsense people to push the installation of firefox with the google toolbar - $1 for each new installation of firefox with the google toolbar....now if only I could persuade all my clients to install it :-) I must admit that there only seems to be a couple of reasons for using the google toolbar with firefox (as most of the functionality seems to be there already). The one thing I do like is the automapping that it can do (clicking on an address to get a map - but I'm sure there is an extension or greasemonkey script to do this already.

There is an extension that will do that for you - Auto site map. I use it in connection with my firefox!

I use the ConQuery extension with the Google Maps search. There is much more functionality than just maps with that plug-in as well. You can query any text to any search engine you can find via mycroft. (I am sure that there are more, but I have not had the need for them...yet.)

There's a lot of sites popping up now encouraging people to notify their non-Firefox users about how great Firefox is and to get that referal dollar too!
