Meaning of name: John

JOHN
Origin: English
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English, Biblical
Pronounced: JAHN 

English form of Iohannes, the Latin form of the Greek name Ιωαννης (Ioannes), itself derived from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan) meaning "YAHWEH is gracious". This name owes its popularity to two New Testament characters, both highly revered saints. The first was John the Baptist, a Jewish ascetic who was considered the forerunner of Jesus Christ. The second was the apostle John, who was also traditionally regarded as the author of the fourth Gospel and Revelation.
This name was initially more common among Eastern Christians in the Byzantine Empire, but it flourished in Western Europe after the First Crusade. In England it became extremely popular: during the later Middle Ages it was given to approximately a fifth of all English boys.
The name (in various spellings) has been borne by 21 popes and eight Byzantine emperors, as well as rulers of England, France, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Portugal, Bulgaria, Russia and Hungary. It was also borne by the poet John Milton (1608-1674), philosopher John Locke (1632-1704), American founding father and president John Adams (1735-1826), and poet John Keats (1795-1821). Famous bearers of the 20th century include author John Steinbeck (1902-1968), assassinated American president John F. Kennedy (1917-1963), and musician John Lennon (1940-1980).

Autopager vs Fastestfox

I found that, there is some amount of people looking for opinion of compare Autopager and Fastestfox recently.

It is a actual very simple Question. If you are a Advanced computer user or a developer, you should use Autopager or autopager lite for lighter resource usage. Of course, Autopager takes some time to learn and it is not easy. However, it is really powerful weapon tool for developer.

On the other hand, if you are home user, I probably suggest you to use Fastest fox which is a very simple plugin for Firefox and SeaMonkey.
