Tab Kit
You have hard time scrolling through browser tabs cause you have so many browser tabs open that they don't fit in one line ? Then Tab Kit is for you.
Tab Kit allows you to have multiple rows of browser tabs and also group them when you open multiple tabs for same domain - double click on the tab and you can collapse/ expand tab group.
Tiny Menu
You find that top part of your browser (Menu bar, Navigation bar, Bookmarks bar, multiple browser tabs bars and other bars like Google toolbar, Yahoo toolbar) is taking up your valuable real estate ? If you can't live without those toolbars, why not remove AT LEAST the Menu bar ?
Tiny Menu replaces the standard menu bar with a tiny menu popup.
