Web applications won’t be needed if a browser extension helps us perform a great deal of errands. Performing tasks such as festive shopping, price comparison, Feng Shui reading and finding a best holiday destination, a browser extension serves multiple purposes right from your browser top.

The trend started from IE extension development. As the browser industry evolved, developers found it convenient to develop small applications in the form of extensions or add-ons, which were readily accepted by the users due to its ease of use and portability.

Today, extensions exist for almost every basic and complex task a human wants to perform. Amidst of cheery atmosphere of the holidays, an ever growing shopping list may keep you worried. Plugins for Internet explorer and various other browsers help you manage the list and keep your shopping budget under control by introducing features such as offering the best shopping places under one platform, price comparison option, barcode scanner and much more.
