33 Get instant info about any website in Firefox

Ever wanted to know more about a site you’re visiting? There are ways to check who owns a website, where it’s based and more, but this often involves going to another site and searching for informatio­n. Flagfox ( www.snipca.com/25295) is a recently updated Add-on for Firefox that displays a flag icon next to the web address that tells you which country it’s based in. A right-click provides shortcuts to domain-ownership data, Mcafee Siteadviso­r security informatio­n and more.

34 Search Firefox bookmarks using keywords

In Firefox, click ‘Show your bookmarks’, right-click a bookmark you use often, then select Properties. Type a memorable keyword in the Keyword box (see screenshot), then click Save. Now you can type that keyword into the address bar and press Enter to go to that bookmark.

35 Quickly manage Edge tabs

The Creators Update brought a range of handy tab-management shortcuts to Edge, including the ability to close all but the tab you’re looking it (right-click the tab, then select ‘Close other tabs’), open the same page in another tab (right-click it, then select Duplicate) and a quick way to save tabs for later (click the ‘Set these tabs aside’ button, at the top left).

36 Enable the hidden Home button in Edge

For reasons that we find hard to fathom, Microsoft disabled the handy Home button in Edge. But if you have a homepage that you regularly return to, you’ll probably want to restore this abandoned shortcut. Click Menu, Settings, ‘Advanced settings’, then ‘Show the home button’.
