Blogger Toolbar
thisis old news for regular readers, but for the new students this may be relevant - if you use Blogger, then the Google toolbar contains a Blogger button - when you are browsing a site that you want to add to your blog, just hit the Blogger button and it gives you a popup window with the URL of the current page already in it, allowing you to comment on the page and then publish it to your blog easily.
It also gives you direct access to Google searching - and is a popup blocker - but as it's a download and install, you'll only get this if you set it up on a machine you own.
From a usability, HCI, and efficiency perspective, I wouldn't be without it.

Have you considered getting to know Opera? Mouse gestures, keywords, the wand and things you can do with the address bar are features worth taking the time to learn. You'd soon find yourself unwanting to browse the web without them :)
http://www.SirSeek.com has created an all-in-one toolbar solution that lets you search over 150 search engines and portals (blogs, news, images, videos, mp3s, ftps, top major engines/directories, chat rooms and more)! Tired of having too many toolbars and so much wasted browser 'real estate'? See http://www.SirSeek.com/Toolbar/ for more information.
