The one i enjoy is that you can view the page in a 3D or Visualized web page in 3D. The latest release is actually has a built in plugin/extension called Tilt which allow you to visualized web page in a 3D mode. It is being developed by Victor Porof (3D developer responsible with the Firefox extension itself), along with Cedric Vivier (creating a WebGL optimized equivalent to the privileged canvas.drawWindow, see #653656) and Rob Campbell (who first thought about creating a 3D visualization of a webpage).
