Usually what I do to bypass this time limit is switch off and on my internet connection. But, there are other ways like deleting cookies and so on. But, if you don’t want to do any of those things, then here are another couple of ways.In this post, I will list out a few websites that will help you to easily bypass their time restrictions, without switching on and off or deleting cookies.

To use the websites below, all you need to do is copy the URL of the video you are watching and paste it in the website. Click on “Watch”. That’s it!

Today in this blog post, I will introduce a tool that will help you to create extension for your blog, which in turn will help your content to be easily discovered. Extension Factory is a tool that helps you to easily create extension of your blog, or rather any blog you want – all you need to do is enter the required blog URL.

It is easy to create an extension of your blog. Go to Extension Factory page. Enter the URL of the blog and click “Create your Extension”. Then, you get a code, copy and add it in your website. Or, if you want to test the extension first, you can also do it by click on “Test Extension” button. If you are a wordpress user, then there is a plugin that does the same job. You might have noticed that on my blog.

The tool basically takes the RSS feed URL of a blog and creates an extension using that feed. The tool supports Firefox, Chrome, Safari and IE. It creates a simple dialog box interface containing feeds of your blog posts. Whenever a new post is updated on your blog, the extension shows a notification (See picture below).

The extension has an option to bookmark posts too. Also, if a blog has more than one feed, you can select only the feeds you want, from the “Options” tab.

If you want anymore information about this tool, visit their FAQ here.

Don’t you think getting feeds of your favorite blog right on your browser would be great? So, IMHO this a simple yet good tool. What do you think about this tool? Would you use it for your blog? Or how would you use it? Drop in your comments below.

The problem is with neither Adsense nor Firefox. It is with the Adblock Plus- an addon for Firefox. It is blocking the new Adsense interface from loading. To solve this problem, disable the Adblock Plus for the Google Adsense page and try again. It will work. If you are not sure how to disable Adblock Plus for a particular page, here is the tutorial:

• Go to the adsense page which is not loading, i.e., the blank blue page.
• Click on the ABP icon in the bottom-right corner of your screen.
• Select “Disable on this page only”.
• Reload the page. That’s it!

Now, you can use the new interface without any problems. However, I would request you to do another simple job. Please report this issue to the Adblock Plus, so that they can look into it. Here is how to do that:

• Click on the ABP icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
• Click on “Report issue on this page” option and follow the steps.

If the above solution doesn’t work for you, then I would suggest you to run Firefox in “Safe Mode“, if it works, then try disabling extensions, that you feel doubtful and try again. If the problem still persists you can always comment here, I will respond with whatever help I can do to solve it.

UPDATE: I submitted this issue, and I think they alread have a report on this problem.You can see the cause and solution for this problem here.

It changes only the top navigation bar to the old type. The remaining will remain as it is. Go ahead and download it.

Personas Rotator is a Firefox addon that changes the personas automatically frequently. So, your browser can now wear different personas automatically without a single drop of sweat from you.

The Personas Rotator is an addon which changes the personas at a particular frequency. By default, it is kept at 60 seconds, which you can change in the options. The addon selects the perosnas from all categories by default. But, you can select anyone you want in the options menu.

For this addon to work, you must have another extension installed on your Firefox browser called “Personas Plus”. This can also be downloaded from the Firefox addons site. However, there would be no need of this as the Personas Rotator addon automatically prompts you to install it.
