Browser Add On

BROWSER ADD ON-POWERFUL TOOL TO ENHANCE THE BROWSERS
          
        Many of us don’t know how to utilize the full potential of a browser. We browse in internet for various reason ,but the chief reason is
  • To Know about any topic or Info
  • To download Like Picture ,Video ,Songs, or any other software.
But sometimes we don’t have time to spend too much in net. So we need to copy the content of the matter and read it later. For this I find many people do either save the entire page as web page  or select the particular area and copy into word document for future reading.

Some of them use a separate you tube down loader software to download any video or You tube videos . But these soft wares  are unnecessarily occupies the space, and in many case it comes with tracking cookies. There is no need to go for separate down loader software for videos. The browser itself can cater all those functions.
