I found a great Firefox extension that you should try if you use Firefox: StumbleUpon
It adds a toolbar with a button that takes you to a random site each time you click it. This random factor is already very cool, but the best part is that you can bigup sites you like and boo sites you don't like and gradually it starts showing more and more cool sites that are of interest to you. I found some really neat stuff with it, and some really funny sites too.
I'm getting a better idea of the incredible vastness and diversity of the web now 
I also use:
- Web Developer - has some great tools to analyze web pages and to eg erase cookies, modify CSS on the spot etc
- ForecastFox - nice little extension that shows the weather of the upcoming days with little icons in your toolbar. Also great as a show off for internet explorer users 
- Google Pagerank Status - shows the Google PR of every site you visit, handy for search engine optimisation
- Tabbrowser Preferences - advanced settings for tabbed browsing, I use it mainly to prevent sites from opening a new browser window
- HTML Validator - instantly shows all HTML errors for every page you visit. Really handy when making websites.
Anyone else using some neat extensions?

ieview: Adds "View page in Internet Explorer" links to the content and link context menu. Handy for previewing pages in IE, loading up IE-only pages when you run across them in Mozilla, etc.
Download Manager Tweak: A modification of the Firefox download manager that changes its appearance and allows it to be opened in a separate window, a new tab, or the sidebar.
Tabbrowser Preferences: Enables enhanced control for some aspects of tabbed browsing.
Disable Targets for Download: Prevents sites spawning blank windows when clicking binary downloads.
LastTab: Allows tab navigation in a most recently used manner. It modifies Ctrl-Tab to switch to recently selected tabs, rather than always go from left-to-right. It also focuses the most recently selected tab when a tab is closed.
Auto Copy: Select text and it's automaticaly copied to the clipboard. Like Trillian or mIrc
Copy Plain Text: Copies text without formatting Have you ever copied something to Thunderbird or Office and been annoyed that the text formatting (bold, font size, etc) came with it? Don't you wish you could just copy the text itself, without having to copy it, p
