Do you want to easily be notified for the new emails from nine of your Gmail accounts at maximum? You can get this pleasure with the extension from Google chrome, the name of it is Google Mail Multi-Account Checker. This extension helps you to deal with all your Gmail accounts easily and in one single window.

I really like this extension as I have multiple Gmail accounts, every day I have to check my email box. Since I have more than one accounts, I have to log in and log out from one to another Gmail accounts. Albeit not everyday a new email comes, yet this is an everyday activity for me.

But now I simply click the blue button of the extension on my Chrome, I can see the latest traffic of my email inbox. If there is a new one that I should read, I click the subject and a new tab opens asking me to login.

And this extension could also save your ROM megabytes as all the accounts displayed in one single page, no need for any tab to be opened or anyother browser.

If you are interested you can head to the extension page here and then download it.

No body wants their activities tracked and tailed, let alone without our consent and secretly. This is what Facebook is doing to all its members, your online activities are tracked by this social networking site system trough cookies stored in your web browser.

All your browsing history and your location are traced, and this tracking cookies is happening to us whether we are logged in or logged out. So whenever you visit another web sites, that have FB social applications enabled, such as Like buttons to Open Graph app, Facebook will identify the browser is you are, not an anonymous user, tracking your activities.

And if you are logged-out, you are still not saved, because Facebook merely alters its tracking cookies system, NOT deleting them. So, your account info and other unique identifiable tokens are still present in these cookies to be tracked.

And you know what? The cookies is set to never expire, so Facebook stores your data for good (source: LifeHacker).

And the purpose of this is of course to sell the collected tracking data to advertiser in other for the relevant ads. Fortunately we can do something to deal with this inconvenient situation by stopping Facebook from tracking your browsing activity and gives your privacy a proportional protection. Last but not least, keep your browsing habit only to yourself.

And in this post I share number of web browser extensions and a mobile phone app to stop Facebook tracking your online activity and protecting your privacy.

Web browser extensions to block Facebook cookies-tracking:

1. Facebook Privacy List for Adblock Plus originally created to block Ad, however this extension can also block Facebook plugins including Like button. Install it for Firefox or Chrome.

2. Facebook Disconnect for Chrome. If you visit any website that has Facebook plugins such as Like button, those Facebook plugins will then track your data and subsequently notify Facebook about your browsing activity, and this what the extension is all about, to disconnect the communication and stop Facebook for being notified. The job can be done, even you are logged into Facebook.

So turn off of your data to them. And the Facebook Disconnect has amazing feature, is a switch on/off, that means you can enable the extension while browsing the internet and then disable it afterward.

3. Disconnect for Chrome and Firefox, in overall this new tool has similar ability with the other two, however this Disconnecting-tracking extension is not limited to Facebook disconnection, it also blocks tracking cookies from another web sites like Twitter, Google, Digg, Yahoo. Of course the intention is obvious is for users privacy concern.

4. Cookie Monster this handy Firefox extension will give a proactive cookie management on a site or domain level basis, 3rd party cookies included. You can instantly access to enhance the cookie functionality from the status bar of this extension.

5. Facebook Blocker. It is an browser extension to simply stopping all the Facebook social plugins such as Like buttons or Recommended list, from appearing on your browsing and disabling those FB scripts from logging your browser history. This extension supports the following browsers:

• 1. Safari 5.

Mobile phone app to block Facebook cookies-tracking:

There is a good Google Chrome extension I think deserve promoting. The name is Chrome: Scrollbar Anywhere, with it you can scroll anywhere without needing to click on the scrollbar of your Chrome browser.

You simply need to hold down the right mouse button till directional arrows appear, then start scrolling.

This extension is good if your mouse has no scrollwheel or simply want to have a fast short-cut to scroll up or down the page you are viewing. You can set the speed of the scroll too, or toggling the cursor change off, and can be found in the setting area.

Download Scrollbar Anywhere extension.

I don’t know about you but for me it’s the important element must have for me as blogger, may be Mozilla team feels it’s not important.

If you want to have Properties Element back you can install Element Properties 5 Add-on, so you will see the familiar feature again each time to check link written on page you read
