Use Customize Google to Improve Your Googling Experience

If you are a die hard Googler, then you would probably love this great Firefox extension called Customize Google. It can change your Google Experience Completely. This little addon weighing around 215Kb has many features to enhance your experience. OK, let me sort out what this small piece of add-on can do for you:

Remove Ads:
Although Google Ads is blind enough to be seen, yet you can completely remove all the Ads in Google Services like Gmail, Google Search, Groups, News, Froggle and Print.

Customizing Gmail:
Use a fixed font for Gmail mail bodies, hide the Gmail spam counter, Secure Gmail and switch to https always. Remove sponsored ads and make your interface clean.

Google Search:
Can’t find your result in Google search? Add competitors Search
Engine like Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, AlltheWeb, Msn, Lycos, Technorati, Feedster, Bloglines, Altavista to Google Search. Remove Sponsored links from Google search results and filter spammy websites from search results.

Google Image Search:
Widen your image search and remove the limit of searching
images only in Google by adding competitors image search engines like Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, AlltheWeb, Msn, Pic Search, Ditto, Getty, Creatas, Web Shots, Nasa, Flickr.

Another best part is that CG add-on will rewrite links to point straight to the images in Google Images.

Other features of CG Add-on Include use of Google Suggest in all Google services, anonymity of your Google user id, result counter in search result, removal of image copying restrictions in Google Book Search, secure https of Google Calander, blocking Google Analytics cookies, links to WayBack Machine in webpage history including click tracking removal.
