Padma – Firefox & Google Chrome Add-on for viewing Indian Language Websites

Hi all,

Even though Indic scripts are supported through Unicode’s by modern
platforms & browsers. But many websites still use the non-standard
text, so that we have to install the proprietary fonts in our computer, to
view those pages properly. We can solve this problem by adding
Padma add-on to your Firefox or Google chrome browser.

I am using this add-on in my browser and its very useful for reading
on-line newspapers, viewing Indic websites. This add-on currently supports
Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil, Devanagari (including Marathi), Gujarati, Bengali,
and Gurmukhi
.

Now Enjoy reading Newspapers in your own languages. 🙂
