Firefox, video, MST3K

I still don’t get why Fire­fox is bet­ter and more pop­u­lar than Mozilla ever was, but okay, I’ll play along. Espe­cially given these enhancements:

  • Cookie But­ton: one of the best fea­tures of Mozilla that inex­plic­a­bly didn’t make it to Firefox.
  • Flash­block: Only see Flash when you want to! This is a miracle.

Finally found a video player to be happy with: Media Player Clas­sic. It’s also bun­dled with Real Alter­na­tive, which allows you to play Real for­mat files with­out rely­ing on the night­mar­ish RealOne player. This week I also dis­cov­ered Net Trans­port, which does the best (i.e., quick­est, eas­i­est, and most free) job of sav­ing stream­ing video I’ve seen so far. And finally, MST3K is still kick­ing: there’s this gigan­tic ref­er­ence site, the still-existent info club, and a legally ambigu­ous Shout­Cast video stream. Shh­h­h­h­hhh.
