You can waste a lot of time daily going back and forth from Twitter and other sites in any browser when you’re on your computer. So many times we stress a lot also when it comes to replying to people quickly or properly by pausing and leaving everything we are doing in one window and focusing on Twitter in another window. Even switching to your phone to tweet means taking the time away from your desktop or laptop browser and pausing whatever you were doing. It doesn’t have to be that way.
You can save time and reduce stress by tweeting and checking all your twitter notifications right from any web page you are on. All you have to do is get the proper extension or add-on for your browser. I personally use Silver Bird extensively in Chrome, which is mentioned below.

Silver Bird - example of tweeting on any page in Chrome. In this picture, I'm tweeting and checking mentions without ever leaving the Social Improve homepage.
The following extensions allow you to do different Twitter things like tweet, reply to @ mentions or send private messages and more without ever leaving the website you are on. We are covering Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera and Safari here. These extensions quickly and easily open either sidebars or new small windows on any website you are on to do different Twitter related things.
Tweet from any browser via Extensions, Add-ons and Widgets
Chrome
- Silver Bird. I recommend and use this heavily.
- Twic
- Tweetings
Firefox
- Echofon
- Hootbar. Requires free account creation at Hootsuite.
- Yoono. Requires data sharing [no passwords]. Also works on multiple platforms like Internet Explorer below.
Internet Explorer
- CloudBerry TweetIE. Allows you to tweet or share websites easily. However, mentions and DM’s are missing.
- Yoono. Works on multiple platforms like Firefox above.
Opera
Safari
Lack of enough Twitter extensions for IE, Opera and Safari
Surprisingly, Internet Explorer, Opera and Safari seem to have the least number of good Twitter extensions. The reason for Internet Explorer could be because of the bloated add-on interface for Internet Explorer, the closed access for Safari in many areas which are available only if you are signed into Safari, and Opera because it has still not yet gained any big momentum like Chrome or Firefox.

Rockmelts better!but good idea!
What’s the diffrence between this and rockmelt?
No bloatware of Rockmelt.
This has nothing to do with Rockmelt; it’s about extensions, and the extensions mentioned for chrome in the article also work for Rockmelt. Different topic than rockmelt.

Proper extension&
Quote you!
@Joseph DjSwissbeats Stewart: Sure, though Rockmelt is bloated like I said and slows down to a crawl with my around 20k+ contacts loading on Twitter and Facebook. With these extension, which are lightweight and some of them superior to Rockmelt’s built in tweeting [which doesn't come close at all to Silver Bird], people can use any browser or even the lightweight Chrome and still do anything they wish in lightbox type windows. In RockMelt, the tweeting or facebook windows take over and you can’t do anything else at the same time.
There are so many aspects to this, and you have opened up another train of thought for me to examine. Thank you for your insight. This article is something that will help me with my class assignment. It helped me to better understand another aspect of this topic.
