Open/view documents in browser in Ubuntu

Hello Ubuntu lovers, how's it going? We are here with another useful and interesting Ubuntu plugin that can make your life easy! We often love to read documents within our browser instead of downloading every single document we want to go through and make our Linux box a trash! In some cases we can read documents in our browser as it would be the default option provided by the up loader, but in most of the cases our browser would ask us with two annoying 'save as' and 'open with' options. So, today we will install libreoffice plugin into our browsers, so that we can easily work around documents online with open/view, save as a pdf and many more useful options. Here's how to install this plugin:

Steps:

Open your terminal and run this command:

Group applications together in Unity launcher

Launcher is for sure one of the best innovations brought up by Canonical. Easy to use, user friendly and fast, now even with minimize click option. But when we have more applications opened, it looks overcrowded and clumsy. But now we need not to worry about this. We can group our applications in Ubuntu like we are already doing in our Android devices. We can do this by grouping a bunch of icons using this new app called "unity launcher folders". To install this, please follow steps below:

Steps:

Open your terminal and type following commands:
