    Ubiquity is incredibly similar to Enso, which I made a topic about earlier. Only this time, it's even more useful, because the internet has infinitely more things to offer you than your computer alone.

    Download (download the file and open it in FireFox. It should install like any normal extension)

    The best part about the most recent update (as of this writing), is that you can actually change the look of Ubiquity's interface, and pretty much make it look like whatever you want. At least, as long as you know how to code in CSS 3.0.

    Luckily though, CSS is a pretty simple language, and shouldn't be hard for most people to grasp onto. Even Myspace uses it to allow people to modify their pages. Those Myspace layout generators are all spitting out CSS.

    Anyway, it's really awesome. All you have to do to undersand that is to watch the video on the project's main page.


    Oh and Mozilla will likely be implimenting this into FireFox sometime in the future, and like Enso, you can make your own commands as well. Only this time, you have to do it in Javascript instead of Python.
