Browser addons

_AVALANCHE_

Apart from Invisible Hand, WOT, Videodownloadhelper, adblock, stumbleupon, ghostery, noscript, unshortenit, flagfox, what else is worth getting?

Most above are in optimized firefox.

Anyone use any of the proxy addons?

A flash blocker is a must for me.

Then I'm using trusty old Proxomitron, not exactly a browser addon, but a great means to decide what gets to your browser and what not.

Alternatively, use a well maintained HOSTS file to prevent you from accidentally opening p0rn, or worse, Faceb00k sites.

The guy that wrote it is dead but hose code lives on and it is still maintained by a community. You'll find ready-to-use config files which you can easily customize to your needs (here for example). And yes, it looks godawfully complicated, but once you have gotten over your initial fears, it really is no biggy.

As a web filter it's still unrivaled.

Again, not exactly an addon: SpeedyFox will compact/defragment user profiles (not only for Firefox but also Thunderbird, Skype and a bunch of other web browsers).

Works particularly well for older, slower systems.
