Morning Coffee
This add-on will help you automate your online morning routine.
With a click of a button, sites you determine will open in tabs.
Open your email, social accounts, weather site, rss reader and more all at once. Morning Coffee is a simple way to get the day started and laid out.
Greasemonkey
Greasemonkey is a very popular browser plug-in that packs a lot of punch. Though easy to install and use, at first blush, it can seem a little complicated. Using small bits of Javascript called scripts, this Greasemonkey allows you to customize many well-known sites. Once installed, you can add a script that will change YouTube to a theater layout where the video always takes full center stage, relegating the comments and related videos to the bottom of the page. Visit Userscripts.org to find out what other customizations can be made to the sites you enjoy.
PageZipper
The days of painfully clicking number after number on those gallery pages are over for you, friend. PageZipper makes things simple by combining all those pages into one. Scroll through that gallery without pausing to click next. A great time saver.
CraigsList Image Prefetcher
On the theme of making things easier, the Craigslist Image Prefetcher extension displays the image of a post underneath its listing. Scan Craigslist pages with quick glances, and drastically cut down the amount of time it takes to find that item you’re looking for. Once you use this add-on, you’ll wonder how you did without.
Rapportive
Rapportive brings you detailed information about your Gmail contacts right inside your inbox. Name, city, title, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Skype info are all brought to you – and all you have to do is get an email from them. Neato, huh? Maybe even a bit scary?
