Two Firefox extensions that you'll want

Posted October 16, 2008 by Unknown1 min read

If you do any sort of Japanese reading on the Internet, you’ll want these two Firefox extensions:

XHTML Ruby Support Furigana Injector

The first one adds proper ruby (a.k.a. furigana, in the case of Japanese) support to Firefox. The second one is more interesting: it adds furigana to kanji on websites that don’t have it, making it much easier to read Japanese text.

An interesting side-effect of having proper ruby support in Firefox is that the times in blogger look quite odd, with the full date above them.
