Anyhow, Im not big on bells and whistles,I have

Dictionary
Flashgot
Ad-block
Tabbrowser preferences.

Dictionary is self-explanitary, simply highlight a word, right click it and select search dictionary, Which opens up in a new tab. I rate it excellent cause I suk at spelling and compreeehenission.

Flashgot is a god-send, Finally giving us untergration wirh real download managers....and not just Flashget, Though why you would use anything else is just bizarre.And it also makes you wrong......HA.

Ad-block,...Annoying with its geela tabs on everything and editing the path inorder to block the server, Proximiton makes it redundent and works on any browser.

Tab-Browser preference, Nice idea but the shortcut it places on my tabs toolbar guts me, I already have a new tab button above it,Plus they have added a lock tab button in teh drop down menu and I now constantly find myself locking tabs instead of closing them.I could adapt but add that to the fact that the extra configuration options just aren't enough to make it a keeper.........

Duplicate Tab

I try to keep my extensions minimal, but seeing the other's lists reminds me that "undo last closed tab" is great, you always have those d'oh! moments - must get that one again :p

331542 2005-03-07 10:54:00 Most of mine are work related, although the weather forecast one is handy,
Web developer //needed for work
googlebar //needed for work but quite handy
PRGoogleBar // even more useful for work
Forecast fox // tells me the local weather
FlashGot //useful
Adblock // damn useful
