Bill, I never called those ancillary programs anything, so I wasn't sure what you meant by extensions. I use a few myself. Number one favorite is the Google Toolbar. I recently installed the Macromedia suite (Dreamweaver et al) and the darned thing put the Yahoo toolbar in also, but I knocked it out again. One toolbar is enough. I use several ad aware and spy block programs that have browser-specific settings. But nowhere near the number you use. I'll have to search on some of the names and see what they're all about. Thanks for listing them.
