AdBlock Plus. (In my case, for Mozilla Forefox.) I just can't stand those annoying adds like shoot 5 smartphones or kill the pirates. And flash ads slow down my computer, so blocking them seems the best choice. F**k Travian, by the way. (The most annoying ads lead to them.)

What's your favorite browser extension? -
Worst security flawsI know this is kind of off-topic but the worst security flaw I've ever seen/read about was at news. (5 o'clock, the morbid news here) A 19 years old boy was home alone and he was... watching porn and doing other unchristian stuff. After 4 hours of "working out" he closed the browser and put his torrents on seed and then went to sleep. Well half an hour later his mother (who was very religious) came home and she had to check a few emails. When she opened the browser some web pages were restored, 4 of which were porn videos. (like one wasn't enough >.>) And the consequences: The mother castrated her child while he was asleep (with a salad knife, ironically) and popped out his eyes out of his head. (with the same knife) Well, the mother ended up in a hospital (for severe mental illness) (St. Paraschiva Hospital :laugh: ) and her (dead) son was buried... Her 4 other children (:^)) were given to their grandparents. Cause: Her son forgot to enable Private Browsing or open a Private Tab or use a similar feature of his browser. Consequence: Castration, eyeball popping and, eventually, death. Nobody died because of your security flaws. That boy did! _______________________ Anyway, I use my netbook computer for "Shared Storage" - as I call it in the network. It's a folder in my laptop that I am sharing over the home network for code storage. When I went to sleep, I forgot to shut down my netbook. The problem is, I also had Remote Desktop enabled for all connections and I was connected to the internet! Well, while I was asleep, someone broke into my netbook and copied all my codes for himself and now he's making lots of money out of it - while I am making free, little programs for both personal and public use. I can name that person but I won't, because it's not nice. I'll remain with the knowledge out of this... (Which is more important than money, in my humble opinion.) The flaw(s) is(are) Microsoft's f***ing fault - When someone attempts to remotely connect to your computer, you are given a 20-seconds warning to log out or you will be automatically logged out OR that I forgot to shut down my computer. That person or someone else would have eventually broke into my netbook but whatever. Because of Microsoft and/or my remembering skills someone else makes now profit (Which I could use a lot these days!). X|

Best use of exception handlingI'm always more productive when drunk. ;P (Off-topic) But yeah, he was probably drunk.

Color blindness helpI can hardly distinguish the colors from red to green. (neon/LED only, and a specific mix of (oil colors) red and green... which to others it looks green but it looks red to me) My classmate's monitor has an LED to show it's state: Green for OK, Red for NO INPUT... It all looks yellow to me. >.> I suggest using blue for GOOD, red for ERROR and white or some gray for NOT READY. Probably some text on the indicator will do more good! And/Or just surround the indicator with a border of the exact opposite color. This will make the indicator's color easier to distinguish.
