Firefox

When you see the movie, such as on YouTube, then click on this button, you can obscure the contents of all the pages, so that nothing distracts you from watching.

Clicking on the icon expansion in the status bar will bring up asking you to enter your real email address. After this time, the mailbox is created, and its address is copied to the clipboard. All correspondence to this email will be sent to your primary email address, and after 12 hours the box disappears. Useful to all users, who often have to be registered in various services and forums.
Favicon Picker 3 — you can assign links and bookmarklet to your bookmarks bar your own icons. If you are actively using this panel, you know that it is quite rapidly filled with elements of the same faceless icons, among which are quite difficult to navigate. Now you can assign each tab its own unique icon.
Chrome
Auto Refresh Plus — adds Google Chrome's auto-update feature. If you are expecting an important letter or response to the forum, or auction, you have to manually refresh the page. Auto Refresh Plus does it for you at the intervals specified in your settings, even if the page is not active. In addition, the extension can monitor the appearance of the desired page content and showing you a pop-up notification window.
Pop-up History Displays your browsing history in a popup window. Displays the page title, the time elapsed after the visit to the site, and the number of visits to this page. Of course any page can be opened again with one click. You can search for relevant records. Thus, we get a pretty handy tool for working with the history of visits and discoveries mistakenly closed tabs.
SiteLauncher - adds to the Google Chrome shortcut bar for sites. Just press the key combination Ctrl + Spacebar and a pop-up window with shortcuts to your favorite sites, divided into groups. The most frequently visited sites, you can specify a combination of hot keys and open them without calling the panel SiteLauncher.

Opera
LastPass - this is probably the most popular and solution for storing and managing passwords easy to date. Previously, interaction with him took place in Opera and worked through bookmarklets this bunch is so sloppy that the use was almost impossible. And finally, full support in the form of a formal extension. Functionality and appearance do not differ from a similar extension for Google Chrome.

At present, that's all. We will continue through the week.
