Posted By Keith Dsouza On November 25, 2008 @ 6:55 am In Featured Articles | 1 Comment

Quite sometime back we had told you about a Adobe Air [1] application called GMDesk [2] that allowed you to manage several Google services like Gmail [3], Google Reader, Google Docs [4] in a single application. Though that application was not ground breaking, it definitely helped a bit for heavy Google users.

Our favorite productivity blog Life Hacker has released a similar application called FoxGLove, albeit with much more features and tight integration with Firefox [5] and a Google Chrome [6] like look and feel.

FoxGLove makes use of a portable Firefox version and also has some features like Google Chrome, like a customized home page which auto-loads on opening new tabs.

FoxGLove comes with several pre-installed extensions like Adblock Plus, Better GCal, Better Gmail 2, Better GReader, Better YouTube, Customize Google, Dictionary, Favicon Picker, Google Gears, Google Notebook, Google Toolbar among others.

This is a definitely must have tool, if you are a heavy Google services users and want to have a single application to manage all of them.
