Did that here at Boeing when I typed the above post.

Will try it at home.
That would be cool to do that to some YouTube vids I want to watch.
I can save my own vids and convert them from my YouTube account already, but not others.

anyone know the name of the extension that lets you preview links? You roll the mouse over it and it pops up in a mini window so you don't have to actually click the link to see it?

it's really handy when you cruise the forums a lot and people post tons and tons of links inside a thread. Looks like they have some cool new features too, namely the lock in the upper right hand corner that allows it to act like a normal window.

My list is as follows:
1-click YouTube downloader
Adblock Plus
Adobe DLM
Coolirus
CoolPreviews
DownloadHelper
Fast video download
Forcast Fox
StumbleUpon
TinEye Image search

Stumble is cool if you have some free time you want to kill aimlessly. I have been known to spend a few hours stumbling...

TinEye is cool because you can search for an image online, see if there are different variations, higher resolution versions...

Download Helper allows you to download a whole page worth of photos at once, instead of individually. Really nice for things such as - trip reports - random picture thread...

Youtube downloader is as you think, let's you save videos off youtube - obvious advantages.

I used to use flashblock, I "upgraded" to noscript (which traps flash as well as javascript).
