You failed to mention one of my favorites, which is the Bork Bork Bork! (The Swedish Chef travesty filter and URL blocker. View web pages or mail as spoken by the Swedish Chef like this... "Feeoo veb peges oor meeel es spukee by zee Svedeesh Cheff.")
ReplyDeleteThanks for rounding up this list - there's a lot of fun to be had in the web browser. Good to remind everyone!
ReplyDeleteI'm part of a team building a multiplayer game in Firefox. It's called "PMOG" a Firefox toolbar that you can use to leave traps or treasure on web sites you surf. You can make Missions to send other players across the web.
We'd like to think PMOG makes Firefox more fun :-) making web surfing a multiplayer game!
Here is PMOG on Mozilla.org: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6336 :-D
