I would recommend Site Advisor. Enhances your security while you browse, especially useful for sites that you are unfamiliar with. One of the best extensions ever.
Opera does not have extensions, or have i missed something? I only know this: operaadfilter.com But after re-starting Opera those new filters effects.
Next Opera (Opera9) has bult in Adblocker, and as far as i know, new filters effects immediately in that.
Firefox extensions... Adblock Plus, new filters effects immediately. Firefox without Tab Mix Plus is harder to use. That extension is so cool.
Here (After Bookmarklets) are some Firefox Extension listed for porn surfing squarefree.com/pornzilla. If you are going to use external Download Manager with Firefox+FlashGot, then i know that Free Download Manager is free, also no spyware in it. But personally i have never used it, because so far downTHEMall is all i need. It says it can Resume downloads, but i have only downloaded Images and small files with it, so i don't really know.
BBCode ? or BBCodeXtra ? i did use BBcode before and you can make forum links with it. Currently i don't use it and making these urls in post-window is pain in the ass:)Image Toolbar ? If not, then what IE has?
If you have a Gmail account, then Gmail Manager is very useful, especially if you have more than one. SessionSaver is also a pretty useful one, although it eats memory like no tomorrow.
Tab Mix Plus - better tab control (just trying it out, I was big on Tabbrowser Preferences) IE View - view the current page in IE. helpful for stubborn sites. Back Is Close - for those times a window with no visible tabs spawns a second tab WindowsUpdate - to open Windows Update in an IE window Download Manager Tweak - Better control of how downloads are displayed DownThemAll! - download all images ForecastFox - weather geek
Popup ALT Attributes makes FF act like IE in that it pops up tooltips based on ALT tags, in addition to TITLE tags. Handy for those sites who code against the spec. :-)
IE Tab gives the ability to open a page in IE in another tab. Kinda neat for one-offs... otherwise I tend to stick with IE View.
FasterFox is a neat set of tweaks, tho it runs the risk of being really rude to sites you visit by downloading all linked pages in the background... which is really only nice if you're on dialup; broadband really swamps a server.
Paste and Go is one I can't live without. It allows you to paste an address in the bar and load it up in one fell swoop. Who knew saving one button click could be so sweet?
Google Toolbar for Firefox is spiffy, tho a little reduntant... but I love the "up" button which helps you traverse websites.
GoogleBar - Lite is quite nice too if you want to keep things simple. Oh I forgot themes - themes are nice if you want to make your browser look just how you want it too - and then you can modify the toolbar too...it never ends!
Speaking of firefox only, get "remove it permanently". You can right click on an annoying advert on your favorite site and kiss it goodbye. Should you ever need to see that ad you can do the same and restore it.
I also enjoy the firefox "abe vigoda status". He had a birthday recently that I would have missed.
Tangent response: We upgraded it around Thanskgiving. Actually, we added a second server... so the big quad-processor box is running SQL Server and we added a neat little 1U dual-proc box running Win2K3 Web Edition which is responsible for the speed gains, since each box can now focus on what it is best at.
Is there a way to change the order of the search engines in that little search window in the right hand corner? I'd like to put them either alphabetically or in the order I perceive their usefulness to be.
Opera will be getting extentions with release 9, they have betas available. They call them widgets. Opera seems to have some built-in features that are better than Firefox, but extentions take care of most of that. Some avatars aren't showing right not with Opera. Some of the ad banners don't work either. I can live with the second.
When looking around at Opera and the widgets for the upcoming 9.x version, I see that they don't have those downloading engines. They do sure seem to forget about the perv portion of the market.
I like that one. Is there one that lets me pare down my context menu until I want the other functions? I looked around and didn't find anything. I guess that would make it a two layer menu, but it would ease the clutter.
I used to get fits over context menu clutter, and I found the above helpful. But since I re-image my OS every month or two I don't have the patience to configure this extension each time. Clutter is easy to get used to. Maybe right now you see it as an annoyance, but 3 months down the road you won't see what all the fuss was about.

For those who have an Imageshack account, the Imageshack Right Click extension makes uploading pictures to your account a piece of piss. Find a picture on the net, right-click, then upload.
Go to a few sites and say whether or not you like them. Then press the little button and it will take you to another site that like minded people say that they like. Great little time waster.
If the alt tag is meant to act as a tooltip here (contrary to the spec), could we please have the title tag in addition or instead? Only the latter is needed for tooltips on both Firefox and IE.
I only use two extensions: LastTab Flashblock
Aside from extensions, what settings do people choose in Tools, Options?
Help required for someone with a tired head and a short memory...for some reason I can't scroll pages anymore with the scroll wheel on my mouse in Firefox - works okay in Safari, I think this has been going for a week or two, I kind of got used to it but now it peeves me no end- it may have been an update that stopped it working perhaps, who knows? Anyway, I can't remember which extension will fix this. "All in one mouse" gestures sounds familiar but the comments on it are a bit dismal - I'd be grateful of any ideas on how to fix it. Thank you, thank you.
Life is strange - it works, not an hour after I post that it doesn't, it does. Oh blessed little scroller, actually on the mac mouse it's more of a clit sized little rubber ball than a wheel...
Recently I stumbled upon Stumble Upon, and from my experience it is quite fun (And now I think I know Neech's secret). Very addictive the first day.
That lead me to this post and I have added and am thankful for the following recommendations:
Tab Mix Plus: I was wanting to be able to click on a new link and have it show up in a new tab, rather than a new window. Though you do have to be careful not to click on the right hand side of a tab because it will close it.
DownThemAll!: Wow! That was sweet saving all of those pics at one time.
Performancing: I think this is the one that has given me a spellcheck.
I also added "Answers". I like it so far.
I must admit that I don't understand what All in one gestures is supposed to do.
Down them All is really nice for dial-up users, since a download can be paused and resumed later - even a totally different session. Helps with long files. If the All-in-One gestures is what I remember it to be, it replicates the mouse gestures from Opera that allow faster navigation of pages.

You don't have to have the "close tab" x's on each tab if you don't want them. You can have just one x at the right margin of the screen, or even none at all.
