I would love to find extensions that make me think "How did I live without this?"

Surprised nobody already suggested some kind of mouse gestures extension. I use foxy gestures and once you learn a few gestures (starting with closing a tab and undoing it) it becomes hard to live without it! Gesturefy is also a popular alternative.

While we're on the subject, does anyone know of a way to block those scroll triggered pop-ups that are everywhere these days? You know the ones, you get a little bit down a page, then:

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can try PopUpOFF. It's not perfect and can be over-aggressive at hiding legitimate popups but it's worth a try.

Tab Center Reborn (and some css to hide the top tab bar) for sidebar tabs.

How it compares ro TreeStyleTabs?

I don't want to say its name, cause I worry (maybe unnecessarily) about making it a target, but there's a downloader for YouTube that's the only extension I've ever paid for.

uBlacklist is great for hiding horrid search results.
