10. Image Zoom - right click zoom on any image. Useful, but not essential.
9. Print/Print Preview - creates a dual function icon; click on printer icon to print or click pulldown menu for print preview.
8. Nuke Anything Enhanced - remove text, images or frames temporarily from a page. Very useful for tidying up pages before printing. Reload page to return to original layout.
7. Downloads in Tab - opens the Flock download manager in a tab instead of an annoying separate window.
6. Paste and Go 2 - paste text into the location and search bars and "go" immediately. One less click for each pasted URL and search term - adds up in the long run.
5. Remember Mismatched Domains - some web sites display a Domain Name Mismatch Security Error. Very annoying if you use Google Reader. I don't know how this happens, and quite frankly, I no longer care. Never see this error again with this beautiful extension.
4. IE Tab - view a page through Internet Explorer eyes. Unfortunately, I need to use IE to enable the advanced features of Outlook Web Access for my MARCS email. With IE Tab I can do this in a Flock tab. Noice!
3. Customize Google - remove ads, switch to secure connections for Google services. If you use Google, Gmail, Google Reader, Google Docs, Google [insert service here], then you need this extension.
2. AdBlock Plus - browse the internet adfree. You only realise the value of AdBlock when you browse the internet without it. Consistent with my bare bones approach, I remove the AdBlock icon from the toolbar. You can still remove ads via right click and access AdBlock Plus options from the Tools menu.
1. Greasemonkey - allows you to install scripts that change the functionality and appearance of web sites. If you use Gmail, you need Greasemonkey. Three Greasemonkey scripts have survived my big cleanout:
