Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
BugMeNot - Today's Browser Tip
BugMeNot is not new. in fact, it's
one of the first extensions I installed when I first switched to Firefox back in the great pop-up flood of aught four,
and I'll bet the same is true for half our readers. However, today I heard about a new release of
BugMeNot—the first in a great while—and realized I've never taken the opportunity
to properly pimp it as a Browser Tip, so here goes: BugMeNot is a Firefox extension that will save you
time that would otherwise be wasted registering on, and divulging your e-mail address to, most popular members-only web
sites. It uses a database of usernames and passwords submitted by generous users at bugmenot.com to log you in. All you
have to do is right-click on the username or password field and click on "BugMeNot." The new version has some
menu improvements, including a new BugMeNot Accounts menu that lets you choose among five different accounts to log in
with.

A truly great extension, though I found it stopped working with imdb. Here's hoping the new release fixes that.

I've never used the extension, but I do have the bookmarklet on my Bookmarks Toolbar Folder.
Oh, and if you ever feel generous and/or magnanimous, you should register a crappy username/pass at one of those news sites and submit it from time to time.
I love my BugMeNot! :)
