Rename Firefox tabs for your privacy - Firefox Plugin
In my previous post, i mentioned how to Hide browser at workplace. But there are other ways to also have your privacy while browsing.
How many times it happens this... You are browsing and somebody walks in and is standing right behind you and you don't wanna show what you are browsing.
Most of us just keep a watch on others moving around us and do surfing.
Well if you are using firefox, then you rename the open tab. For this you need to install RenameTabs Firefox extension
Here is what Valadrem the developer of this Firefox extension has to say.
Have you noticed that everybody looks the titles of your open tabs? It has a name: Paranoia! And a solution too: TabRenamizer!

How to Download Videos from YouTube
You can download videos from you tube and save it to local hard disk by the following ways
Web based
1. YouTubeX is now VideoDownloadX doesn’t have a lot of options, but it’s simple, and it works. It also enables you to share the YouTube video with your friends via e-mail. Unfortunately, all the files are called get_video, and you have to add the .flv extension manually.
2. KeepVid is another simple site. No hassle, works not only for YouTube movies but for a number of other sites, including Google Video, MySpace Video, DailyMotion and others. Again, you have to add the .flv extension by hand.
3. VideoDownloader is very similar to KeepVid, but supports even more video sharing sites, and it’s also available as a Firefox extension. Just like with KeepVid, all downloads are in .flv format. We recommend MediaCoder for free conversion.

4. YouTube Downloads takes the cake in the longest domain name contest. It also separates itself by using a proxy for downloading videos, which means that you might be able to get videos even if YouTube access is blocked at your workplace or in the country you live. Just search Google for YouTube videos, and copy/paste the URL into YouTube Downloads.

5. Zamzar is an online file format conversion site which can do a lot more than just converting YouTube videos to another format and downloading them to your hard drive, but it’s doing a great job so we had to include it here. Thoroughly tested by us and highly recommended.
