TV-Fox
One of the many great things about the Firefox browser is the ability to add new features and utilities as extensions. It turns Firefox into so much more than just a browser. Firefox is free and open source to begin with, and there are literally thousands of free and usually open source applications that can be downloaded and installed. If one takes the time to tap into the sheer power of these offerings, Zotero for example, it becomes one of the great values available today in computing.
One cool extension that I recently stumbled onto is TV-Fox, which helps you to organized and easily browse TV broadcasts from dozens of nations. For someone like me who is interested in languages, international news, and foreign cultures, this is a gold mine. I have been watching internet broadcasts for years, but it has usually been more than a little frustrating in the past to try to find them. Many links were broken or never displayed properly in other sites I tried to use in the past. But TV-Fox installs as a toolbar in your browser and gives you instant access to hundreds of quality broadcasts from around the world. It actually makes surfing the links fun and entertaining. Just to see what’s out there. And best of all, the links seem to be monitored so that everything works. It is just one example of the many high-quality extensions that are available for Firefox.
