Chrome, Firefox, and/or IE

Why limit the discussion to browsers that can't keep up with the innovation of the best? I don't like browser extensions, anyway; all they do is slow the browser down. Opera "widgets" can all be installed as stand-alone applets, so you don't have to wait for them all to load, every time you start the browser. I dare say that that's yet another innovative advance that the other browser producers will eventually copy.

I use Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari, in no particular order of preference.

Basically, if the browser team hasn't the brains to emulate Opera's best functions, then you need to get addons to fill in those gaping holes. The most obvious is Mouse Gestures. It just sucks that addons will never be as good as building gestures into the core browser code. That said, the various emulation addons can sometimes add nice tweaks that Opera would do well to pull in, too. Like the visible lines to show a gesture in progress. For Firefox & Thunderbird, I find Rikaichan invaluable for Japanese translation. I just wish there was something like it for Chrome and Opera.

What Kristian said, and also Flashblock. Flashblock gets a little annoying at times, but once you add all the most crucial sites to its whitelist, it's very, very, VERY lovely. At least to me. :p

The only one I use regularly is ie tab for Firefox for those sites that *still* only work in ie!

AdBlock Plus. (In my case, for Mozilla Forefox.) I just can't stand those annoying adds like shoot 5 smartphones or kill the pirates. And flash ads slow down my computer, so blocking them seems the best choice. F**k Travian, by the way. (The most annoying ads lead to them.)

For Firefox: IE Tab 2[^] This helps me on never needing to launch Internet Explorer. If there is a web page that works only or better on Internet Explorer, all I have to do is switch the render on a small icon on bottom right of firefox window and voi'la. Really useful, you can have tabs inside firefox that use the firefox engine or internet engine. There is also a chrome renderer.

[BrainiacV]

View Source Chart in Firefox. Great for finding those badly structured rendering problems.

Flashblock for Firefox is very good. It lets you open lots of tabs without slowing the browser to a crawl.

[BC3Tech]

Roboform; the only one I have installed.

[Richard Deeming]

+1 for AdBlock Plus and Firebug. Nobody's mentioned NoScript[^]? :confused: Greasemonkey's quite useful for "fixing" other people's web pages, particularly sites which insist on wrapping every link with an ad-frame.

I got this..!!!!! I used Opera for a while the most under rated browser in the market... If it was more compatible I would use it only. The I started using Firefox because all the things I loved about opera could be added as extensions. I will not use a browser that does not have them...For example I wanted to use chrome but couldn't because of the missing addons. So I use.... Firefox with adblockplus, Speeddial, SecureLogin and SQLLite manager... I can go to all my normal websites and check my emails with about 15 keys pressed on my keyboard and never touching my mouse.
