| | Posted: | | | | What add-ons do you use for your web browser? I'm looking for some other interesting ones that I haven't taken a look at yet, but I'm bored with "What are the best plugins?"-type searches. That's just a side note, though.
Other than website-specific ones, these are extensions I use:
AdBlock Plus for blocking scripts, flash clips, and images related to ads.AdBlock Plus Pop-up Addon blocks pop-ups and pop-undersConduit Engine which is basically a central point for a database of appsFreecorder Community Toolbar for recording and converting streaming video and audio to other formatsGreasmonkey which lets you add and run extra scripts that changes the look and behavior of different webpagesgui:config which makes it easier to change some additional browser settings not seen in the default optionsHide Google Options to remove the sidebar on Google search pagesNoScript for blocking a lot of Java and JavaScript-related stuffOrganize Status Bar hides and/or rearranges everything found in the browser's status bar
All of my plugins are for playing different kinds of media through my browser. | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

What add-ons do you use for your web browser? YouTube Downloader - nice extension to download YT-Videos hassle-free by integrating a download-button into the page. sample pictureSnapLinks - to open multiple links at once. Just found this one while looking for the YT-Downloader.No Add-block (yet?), because I can just ignore them. That's about it, everything else I need, like mouse-gestures, search-engines and bookmark-syncing, is integrated in Opera. cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki | | | | Last edited: by Mithi |

But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
