Using the Quickbrowse Method ©

The Quickbrowse Method © is a two-step process that will accelerate your daily reading routine and save you time every single day.

In Step One you rapidly go through all your daily online information sources (any sites, e.g. the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, blogs, iGoogle) by scrolling down just one single page. As you scroll down, you mark, by clicking, the links (usually headlines) you want to read. In Step Two, you rapidly scroll down another single page that contains the full texts of all the pages, articles, etc. that you selected in Step One (Quickbrowse will automatically display New York Times articles in their single-page versions).

To transform your daily reading routine with the Quickbrowse Method you should create a Firefox bookmark for a set of tabs that contain all the news sources you want to read on a daily basis (you only need to do this once; click here if you need to learn more about tabbed browsing). To create the bookmark, open all the news sources in one Firefox window, in separate tabs. The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal offers you options for viewing all of the current issue's content in one page, which is especially useful for this. On the Times site, this is called "Today's Times". At the Journal the page is called "Today's Newspaper". If you read papers that don't offer this option, simply open each news section you want to read in a separate tab (Quickbrowse will combine them all into a single page anyway). Once you have opened all your news and information sources in separate tabs inside a single Firefox window, click "Bookmarks" in the Firefox menu bar and select "Bookmark All Tabs". Proceed and create a bookmark. You might want to call it something like "daily news.":

sample bookmark

Once you've installed the Quickbrowse add-on, simply click Bookmark in the menu bar, then click the bookmark folder you created, then select "Open All as Quickbrowse":

Your entire daily read will open as one, quick-to-scroll page. It may take a few seconds for all pages to build, depending on their number.

Now, scroll down, and click all the headlines / links, etc you want to read. Quickbrowse will highlight them to indicate that they are collected. This is Step One of the Quickbrowse Method. If you want to open a link right away, simply right-click and click "open in new window".

When you are done selecting headlines, click "open collected links" on the top of the page:

Another quickbrowse page will open, containing all the stories you want to read. Now, in Step Two of the Quickbrowse Methos, simply keep scrolling down to read them all. FYI: All New York Times stories will be included as one page, even if the Times Web site displays them in multiple pages.



Using Quickbrowse to convert open tabs into a Quickbrowse page

Simply click "Tools" - "Quickbrowse" - "Open Tabs as Quickbrowse" to convert a set of open tabs into a Quickbrowse page.



Recovering a Quickbrowse page

Say, you use the Quickbrowse Method and have selected lots of articles in step one, and create the Quickbrowse page with the full pages of all the articles -- and then your computer crashes. In this case, you can always rebuild your most recent Quickbrowse page by clicking "Tools" -> "Quickbrowse" - > "Open Last Quickbrowse".



Using the Quickbrowse Method on multiple computers

Say you create a Quickbrowse page with articles you want to read at home, and want to continue reading the page on your office computer. Simply "Bookmark" on your home computer to create a bookmark of all of the selected article pages. If you use Google's Browser Sync add-on for Firefox all your Firefox bookmarks will be synchronized across all your computers and you can easily open the quickbrowse page containing your articles from your office computer.



Saving a Quickbrowse page

You can save a Quickbrowse page as a bookmark of a set of tabs by clicking the "bookmark" button on top of the Quickbrowse page.



Un-installing the Quickbrowse add-on

To uninstall the Quickbrowse add-on, you may use the standard Mozilla Firefox 'Add-ons' window. Once you access the 'Add-ons' window, select the 'Quickbrowse' extension and click 'Uninstall'. The Quickbrowse Software will be uninstalled and will no longer be visible when you restart Firefox.
