Well, the weather here is always the same, so weatherfox doesn't interest me.

I use AdBlock, LiveHTTPHeaders, BugMeNot (this one is great!), and a few others.

Delicioius Delicacies, all the way. It just replaces the new description of cookies (Cookies are bits of information that store login information...) with the original description: Cookies are delicious delicacies. :)

Adblock is okay, I prefer the userContent.css way of killing ads though:

I use the extension on Mozilla's database which opens all links in a new tab, instead of a new window.

It's great! :biggrin:
