Integrate Wikipedia To Google Search

Googlepedia is an extension for firefox and chrome that can dramatically change your searching experience. It displays the relevant Wikipedia article along with your search results on google. The search page will be divided into two equal parts. One portion shows the search results and the relevant Wikipedia article is shown on the other. You can expand or shrink the article as you wish. Clicking the links in the Wikipedia article will trigger new Google searches, so you can dig deep into the topic. But you should always use the built in search box in Firefox(located at the top) and the omnibox in chrome (the combined search and address bar ie. the address bar itself) to get the results in this manner. I highly recommend this extension as all it does is place a very relevant Wikipedia article in place of those boring Google adwords.:)

Browse websites offline using HTTrack

here are many websites that we regularly visit to get some already added data. You might not have the time to read all the articles at once. Or you might not be able to access the internet whenever you want. Saving every page on the website separately is both difficult and inconvenient. But a software called HTTrack can help you. HTTrack is a free  and easy-to-use offline browser utility. It downloads the website completely to your hard disk. Later you can surf the site offline as if you’re online just by opening the page on your browser. You can access the website from anywhere. It downloads everything including html, images etc from the target site. HTTrack can also update an existing mirrored site, and resume interrupted downloads. HTTrack is fully configurable, and has an integrated help system.


And this software can be used as a backup tool also. If you’re a webmaster, you can simply use this software to download all the data from the server to your hard disk. So even if something goes wrong, you will be able to redo what you did in just a few minutes!
