We
use browsers to surf the web. But, to get the most of modern
webpages, you need some essential plugins for your browsers. Each
plugin has it's own spaciality. Too much plugins will slow down
the Speed of your Browser. So, only pick the best. Here are the
best plugins of all -
1) Quicktime Plugin - QT Plugin is one of the most popular (and
old too!) plugins invented. Because, it can be found in almost
every multimedia cdrom. With this plugin, you'll be able to play
.mov, .wav, .mid and some other files in Netscape or IE.
2) Shockwave Plugin - Shockwave can be called the new generation
plugin. Now-a-days,
all popular websites use Shockwave files (Like EA, Sega,
Macromedia, Popular artists).
Shockwave Plugin lets you play movies, games, music or navigation
menus which are in
different extensions - .swf, .dxr, .spl, .dcr, .dir.
3) Viscape Plugin - This plugin is not so popular like the first
2. Because, it is only required to view .VRML files (Virtual
Reality). So, you don't need it very much.
4) Realaudio Plugin - Realaudio is the most popular media file in
the net because of
it's size and average quality. With this plugin you can view
Realaudio & Realvideo
(.rm, .ram and .ra files).
