Browser Plug-ins: 33 and counting.

Type ' about:plugins' in the address box of your browser (this works in Firefox anyway) and see how many you have.
Mine says I have 33 Installed Plug-ins, like Bittorrent, Java, Quicktime.
The browser is like a power-bar with 33 plug ins on it, but it doesn't overheat or throw a breaker, it just joins 33 media/content software interfaces together - a browser is a nexus point. The browser is just the front door of many content formats, a civil war of formats with many incompatible differences but they all deliver something to our eyes and ears.

Aside from browser plug-ins I also have one browser Extension: AllPeers. It has proved useless to me so far because of the 500 file limit it can share; otherwise I could use it to remote access all my files.
