Thanks for posting Will :)

I used to use Adblock as well, but I quickly un-installed it after reading more about web development and designs. I wanted to see how webmasters position their ads for max returns.

I have heard about the User Agent Switcher app before, but never got it since I don't have a real use for it. What do you mean that it bypasses UW's wireless requirement though? You mean it bypasses the login requirement?

All-in-One Gestures is something I am a bit hesitant on using, just because it might incorrectly read my gestures. I will give it a try, however I doubt I will prefer it over my point-and-click way of browsing ;)

Firebug looks interesting, I'll have to look into that.

My personal favs:

Adblock Plus - blocks ads

User Agent Switcher - allows you to fake your browser ID. This does various things, but most useful for UW students: if you set your browser to appear non windows allows you to bypass UW wireless's requirement for Windows users to run minuet to get full port access.

All-in-One Gestures - a decent program for firefox gestures (basically, you can navigate between tabs by right clicking and dragging. it can make mouse only browsing considerable faster)
