I grab the occasional mod files. I email. I play games online like COD WoW. That is the extent of it for me.  |
I don't do much rocket science either, but have lots of useful tools built into my browser that I'd feel lost without. How bout this? Darn! I can't get a screenshot of it, I'll have to try a video later.
Shameless teaser: I have a little green radar screen on my status bar that on mouseover pops up an animated radar screen of local weather. It has options for different sources and types of radar/satellite images/whatever that you want in the window.
Ghostery finds, identifies, and if you choose, emasculates "web bugs," those items on a webpage that call home with your browsing behavior, usually for advertising purposes. For instance, right now Ghostery says Subsim is using two trackers: Google Adsense and Google Analytics and is asking me if I want to shut 'em down. Naw, I have mercy on Subsim! Zero blocked.
How about a Greasemonkey script that adds links to all ebay pages, giving you one click access to just the seller (or buyer's) negative feedback? Ebay tries to hide that stuff. For me it's part of every Ebay page!
Firefox is just stuffed with these useful extensions that once you have them you can't live with IE any more.
