A recent post by the Inactive Activist reminded me that I'd planned on a few freeware-related posts, so here's the first of them. A pretty short one to start with.
I love RSS, and it was something of a blow when Mozilla removed the RSS icon that used to appear in the address bar (now known, somewhat grandiosely, as the 'Awesome Bar' ) when you visited a site that offered the service. It's part of a trend I've noticed, roughly since they stepped up the frequency of updates and new versions, that they often take the route of telling the user what the user wants, rather than offering a choice to make the customisation.
Anyway, this handy addon puts the RSS icon back where you want it, so you don't have to hunt around the page looking for subscription options.

As the subject of browser spellcheckers has come up in several conversations lately, I thought I’d give a quick run-down, for each of the major browsers, of how to install the relevant dictionary for your preferred language, so that words like ‘honour/honor’ get treated correctly. After all, there’s no point in having a spellchecker if it defaults to a brand of English that doesn’t agree with your local variant.
