If you're really not sure if you need the addon, don't install it. It might suck your memory. I also recommend to have addons not more than 5, but if you're geeky you can extend it upto 10! BTW, Thanks for sharing your experience. Bob Jackson - Very valid points. If you’re really not sure if you need the addon, don’t install it. It might suck your memory.
