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:

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.

Change Unity dash overlay size in Ubuntu

For screens that are larger than a standard netbook, "half-way" is the way it is intended to be. This is called "desktop mode". There is another mode called "netbook mode", that opens dash in full screen size. Mine was "netbook mode". by default, but one day when I had to add some app by dragging and dropping into some another application, I was unable to do it in "netbook mode".

Steps:

There are two ways in which we can achieve this:
