I have also wanted to try out the BugMeNot extension but just haven’t made the time yet.

I’m using Privoxy for ad-blocking. It’s the descendant of the venerable Internet Junkbuster and it works pretty darn well—you might like it. (You can run one instance for a bunch of computers, too.)

    • NukeAnything – Will remove any HTML element from a page. Re-renders the page nicely, too.
    • DownloadWith – Configure your browser to download using multiple tools. I particularly like being able to rate-limit my downloads using wget, because it doesn’t take much to overwhelm our little modem.
    • AdBlock – I like being able to use wildcards – but you’re probably doing this at the firewall level, too. 8^)
    • TabX – Adds a ‘close window’ x to each tab, just like Galeon always did. Surprising increase in intuitivity [sic].
    • TinyURL – TinyURL!
    • FireSomething – Just fun. Randomly changes the browser name, à la Dead Dog Café Comedy Hour Indian Name Bingo.
    • DeepestSender – Not really ‘must have’, but if I had time to spare for development, I’d probably spend it integrating this LJ post tool less obtrusively into Firefox.
