When I use any browsers I always try to avoid any toolbar installation, be it yahoo, MegaUpload or Google; simply because it reduces the screen size. I'm sure there's some way of hiding and calling them up but it would be tedious. Anyway I couldn't avoid not to install stumbleupon toolbar because from time to time there are always interesting pages discovered and I would love to StumbleUpon (vote, leave comment etc) them. Digital Inspiration discovered a way to use Stumbleupon, enjoying almost all the functions without installing the toolbar regardless of browser you use.
To see the trick in action, visit the URL stumbleupon.com/demo/#url=http://blog.eches.net in any web browser (even on unsupported browsers) - you will immediately notice a virtual toolbar floating over the web page. All you need to do when you stumble upon new page is to change the URL (i.e http://blog.eches.net to http://www.yourfavouritepages.com) to the site or page discovered. Cool!

Nice tip. Few days back I was sitting on my friend’s computer and I didn’t able to stumble many pages I liked. This time I’ll make sure, I do that without much fuss.
