Four Firefox Extensions to Hack Google

So, I did a little digging, and found some great Firefox extensions for hacking Google: 1) SEO for Firefox SEO for Firefox adds additional links after each search result that can tell you the keywords of a site, cache history, domain age, and so much more. In all, about 20-25 additional links. You can toggle this display on/off easily by clicking in the taskbar. 2) GoogleEnhancer GoogleEnhancer enhances Google results by adding numbers, keyword highlighting and icons. 3) GooglePreview Inserts preview images (thumbnails) of web sites and amazon.com and .de products into the Google and Yahoo search results pages. The GooglePreview thumbnail system currently consists of 8 dedicated servers and generates 7 TB of traffic per month. 4) CustomizeGoogle CustomizeGoogle is a Firefox extension that enhance Google search results by adding extra information (like links to Yahoo, Ask.com, MSN etc) and removing unwanted information (like ads and spam). All features are optional and easily configured.
