Bloglines Browser Plug-In: The Bloglines Browser Plug-In will enable you to use the Bloglines RSS aggregator from your browser and subscribe to RSS feeds with one click. The plug-in will be integrated into the RSS Aggregator functionality of your IE7 browser bar and will be accessible through the RSS Aggregator button in your IE7 browser bar. Note: you will need to register with http://www.bloglines.com to use this plug-in.

del.icio.us Buttons for Internet Explorer: Integrate del.icio.us right into Internet Explorer with this del.icio.us extension.

Inline Search: An extremely useful free add-on for Internet Explorer that mimics Firefox’s search behavior. It turns searching in a web page into a non modal research experience coupled with a find as you type facility. It integrates flawlessly into IE (version 5.5 or above), giving it that little extra that makes you a lot more efficient when you are looking for a specific piece of information.

IESpell: IESpell is a free Internet Explorer browser extension that spell-checks text-input boxes on a Web page. It should come in particularly handy for users who do a lot of Web-based text entry (Web mail, forums, blogs, diaries). Even if your Web application already includes spell-checking functionality, this utility is faster than a server-side solution. Plus, you get to store and use your personal word list across all your applications instead of having to maintain separate ones on each application. The program installs as a new button in the IE toolbar (and as a new menu item under Tools). After filling in a form, click the IESpell button and it pops up a dialog similar to the Microsoft Word spelling checker. In version 2.1.1 build 325, ShowModalDialog can take any HTML elements, and support for ignoring words marked with an underscore has been added.

In other words, this extension allows you to save the current state of Firefox (history, text data, cookies) and return to that state at any later moment. Besides the manually saved states, Session Manager automatically stores the current state in case of a crash.

You might find this behavior useful when you want to send (IM, email) an interesting link to a friend and out of laziness convenience you don’t want to copy the link and an explanation of what the link is in a single step. The explanation can be as short as the document’s title or it can be a descriptive text from the document.

CopyURL+

As of version 1.1, you can also extend Copy URL+ with your own menu entries.

Update: Copy as HTML Link is a similar extension that may complement or replace CopyURL+, depending on your needs.

It will convert a long URL into a much smaller, more managable one which is easier to share through email and instant messanger. This feature is useable from the Tools menu or as a Toolbar Element (Firefox).

For example, if you’re a Flickr fanatic and enjoy commenting you may appreciate the Flickr Rich Edit script which adds limited rich editing capabilities to Flickr, in comments and groups.

Not even a crash will phase it. Windows, tabs, even things you were typing — they’re all saved. Use the menu to add + remove sessions; right, shift, or middle-clicking will delete. “Simple mode” for peace of mind, or “Expert mode” for advanced flexibility.

Update Aug 12, 2006: See also Session Manager.
