There are only a few add-ons in Firefox that I want to see implemented in other web browsers as well. The security add-on NoScript which blocks all scripts from being loaded by default, the password manager Last Pass and Snap Links or Multi Links. The Multi Links add-on allows a Firefox user to draw a rectangle with the mouse over an area on a website to automatically open the dominant links in that rectangle in new tabs. There are options to change how the links are opened, where they are loaded in and how the extension presents itself.
The extension is very useful for users who often have to open multiple links on websites, like opening all new threads in a web forum or new popular links on sites like Delicious or Digg.
Snap Links Lite is a port of the Firefox extension for the Google Chrome web browser. It is not as customizable but offers the core feature of drawing a rectangle on the screen to open the links in tabs in the web browser.
Only the right mouse button can be used to draw the rectangle and links will always be opened in new tabs in the same web browser window. Snap Links Lite will also open all links in the rectangle unlike the Firefox original which can for instance block all but the target urls in search engines.
Snap Links Lite can be downloaded from the Google Chrome Extension gallery.
An alternative to Snap Links Lite is Linky for Google Chrome which works different as it opens all links that are currently highlighted in the browser. (via Lifehacker)

This is old. Opera has the future. It’s call Mouse Gesture.
yea… but people like me prefer to use SnapLink rather than Mouse Gesture which every browser has it already….
this plugin is still a bit buggy, its only working on first tab and doesn’t do group linking.. tho this plugin would be perfect once these been fixed =P
