Snap Links is one of my favorites. It allows you to highlight a page (or part of a page), and every link will open in a new tab. I sometimes have to check out lists of links, and opening each link one by one is time consuming. This way I can highlight a group of them, then go for coffee. By the time I get back, they've all loaded, and I can easily skim through all of them. Very handy. I also like Colorful Tabs, which gives each tab a different color.
However, I haven't been able to get Adblock Plus to work with the Salon site. I think it has something to do with the advertising splash screens. I kept getting blank pages, and I finally had to turn AdBlock off for Salon. (I don't mind looking at ads if it pays for the site, but I hate the pop-ups.)
Adblock Plus is really useful and fun. I like to see how many delusional ads for real estate Adblock can kill on the main NYTimes webpage.
Generally: though Adblock Plus is good at getting rid of repeated visual clutter, particularly those flashing adds, that aren't actually flash media.
I almost never have the urge to use it when reading the Salon site, though.
