Internet add-ons and tools are a great way of enhancing your browser’s capabilities and potential. Browser tools can make a real difference to the end user. These small and unique programs can extend the capacity of browser functions, enabling a more professional and welcoming approach to internet usage. New browser add-ons are always being introduced to the market. Here are five of the best for both Firefox and Chrome:
5 of the Best for Firefox:
Adblock Plus 2.1.2
This free browser add-on is a great tool for blocking those annoying pop up advertisements and banners. It uses the clever concept of blocking HTTP addresses according to their source address.
Works with Firefox 8.0 and later.
Firebug
A useful browser tool enabling the user to edit, de-bug and monitor CSS, HTML and Javascript live in any page. Firebug opens in a separate window (if required) and gives you the ultimate management of which websites you want to use it for.
Works with Firefox 13.0 and later.
Easy YouTube Video Downloader

Works with Firefox 7.0 and later.
WOT – Safe Surfing
WOT (Web of Trust) is a safe browsing tool that works as a warning device for risky websites. It’s a unique community-based service that allows you to see other people’s experiences of websites via a single colour co-ordinated icon.

5 of the Best for Chrome:
