After installing this extension, activate it with the keyboard shortcut Alt+G and it will put a number next to every link on the web page. You can navigate by simply typing in one of those numbers next to the link. You can also open up web pages in new tabs, press g and when “Open in new foreground tab” is displayed in the green box as shown in the screenshot, type in the number next to the link you want to open. Press b to load a web page in the same tab. Use Alt+G when you want to hide those numbers that help you to concentrate on the keyboard but at the same time clutter the web page.
KeyboardNavigation is a free download for the Dev version of Chrome for Windows. It also works on Chrome Linux beta.

Mac, Linux, Windows: Firefox by default offers a white space when you open a new tab. Chromium for example by default opens the Speed Dials. If you’re not happy with Firefox’s white space tab thing than grab NewTabURL.
This extension offers three possibilities;
it lets you open a custom URL when opening a new tab;
It can load what ever is in your clipboard and lastly you can tell Firefox to go by its default, that is to open a white tab.
The ‘Select location bar after loading the new tab’ option highlights the address bar when a new tab is opened, so you can start typing-in a new URL. – That’s all folks!!!
NewTabURL is Firefox extension that works on all platforms; Windows, Mac and Linux.

For Windows, Mac and Linux: In Adapting Greasemonkey UserScripts for Opera 10 Browser I showed you how to manually install User Scripts in the Opera Browser. You had to create a local folder for your user scripts, then direct Opera to fetch your scripts in it; once a UserScripts is placed in that folder, it is automatically enabled and working, that means the only way to disable a userscript in that folder was to delete it. Installing and managing userscripts was so manual in Opera browser, unlike in Firefox and Chrome/Chromium where you can enable/disable Greasemonkey and its scripts with just a click or two.
With Opera Unite’s (UJS) User Script Manager the Opera Browser is on a par with Firefox and Google Chrome /Chromium – at least when it comes to handling user scripts. UJS Manager for Opera Unite installs User Scripts as extensions, the Chrome-like way. More»
