Le mie recensioni

Certificate Patrol

Assegnate 5 su 5 stelle

This add-on is simple, yet highly effective at detecting potential issues (e.g. man-in-the-middle attacks, unexpected certificate changes, etc.) related to SSL certificates.

In general, it is quiet and stays out of the way. In the few messages it presents to the user, it provides useful commentary about whether or not the change it detected is likely harmless or malicious, which is useful for non-technical users.

I highly recommend this add-on.

Forecastfox Weather

Assegnate 5 su 5 stelle

All the other weather-monitoring add-ons I've seen are pretty "heavy" -- WeatherBug has a big honking advertisement, etc.

ForecastFox is lightweight, provides useful information, and lacks any advertising with the in-browser interface (of course, when one goes to AccuWeather for more details, some advertising is displayed, but it's not nearly as obnoxious as the WeatherBug ads).

Two thumbs up!

Enigmail

Assegnate 5 su 5 stelle

I use Enigmail 0.94.2 with Thunderbird 1.5.0.13 (the versions supported by Ubuntu linux) and it works excellently.

The integration is seamless, even having little details like the "this message will be signed" and "this message will be encrypted" indicators in the bottom-right of a new message, just like how Thunderbird works with S/MIME.

Having one-click decryption and verification is also nice. The Enigmail key manager is also excellent, though I find it lacks some features (like being able to select a default key) that must be selected with Seahorse. Also, having a user-configurable time for caching passphrases would be nice; 5 minutes of non-idle time is too short for my needs.

Enigmail's easy-to-use frontend to GPG and its excellent integration with Thunderbird make this add-on a most excellent choice.
