Hide unvisited is one of my favourites

Stops your unvisited bookmarks appearing in the address bar as you type, especially good when you have prying eyes and 'certain' bookmarks appear.

lol only joking!

stealther - blocks all cookies, and pretty much makes you anon. i use it when im on 4chan and other pron sites LOL

delicious bookmarks - shows your delicious bookmarks, in the order of most visited or recently bookmarked

sxipper - automatically saves your login usernames and passwords for different accounts. one click undername and password filling. also remembers forms.

download statusbar - a WAY better download thingy. shows all your active downloads in a bar on the bottom of your browser

tab mix plus - allows you to organize and rename your tabs

tiny menu - shrinks that shitty top bar that has all your "file, edit, view, etc..." menus in to one menu called "menu"

Yup, its my favorite theme:D Cuz im kinda ocd when it comes to some things like no icons on my desktop except maybe 1-2, and another big one for me is i like clean somewhat simple themes... and thats why i love this theme so muchXD

I was using the Nasa theme for a while, I just got a new today actually.

Chromifox

I've got just the navigation buttons and address bar at the top, it looks really neat.

I like the GooglePreview add-on because it shows a preview of the page on google searches and makes it more attractive. I also have SkipScreen which skips the thousand pages that I have to go through to download something from RapidShare for example or many other sites. Also WOT (Web of Trust) helps me not get viruses.

As for themes, I like Personas, even though it is still in experimental stage.

Sorry for not posting links, but I will when I have some time.

Not sure what has been said so far, not going through, but ehre are what i have so far (appolgies if they have been said already):

Red Shift V3 Theme. I like how it is black and red (+1) ant that it doesn't complicate things, it keeps it all very simple, i can't stand buttons i don't use (+2)

Google Toolbar. Again, it is so i don't have to keep going home when i need to search for something, it is again for the over complicating thing i said before in the red shift theme.

And that is it, can't be doing with finding all the stuff which on paper looks incredibly useful, but that will never get used
