Firefox Extensions Gone Wild

Firefox Extensions

Now that’s a lot of Firefox Extensions. Here’s the full-size screenshot.

From Splasho:

Yesterday I decided to undertake an experiment. My favourite browser, Firefox, allows its users to add extensions. Currently 1148 extensions are available at Mozilla update. I decided to install 100 of the most popular extensions at the same time, trying to avoid those that duplicated others functionality. Cruelly, the hundredth was the XPI delay remover.

It was really extraordinarily stable. The work of hundreds of programmers who had no idea their code would be used together, coexisting happily in the browser.

Special thanks to Rick Abruzzo for the tip, via MetaFilter.
