Acronym Finder
There are a lot of confusing acronyms out there. Use the handy Acronym Finder to figure out what the hell that random group of letters actually means!
Note that if you group your search results by rank instead of alphabetically, the most common or popular definitions will come first.

Site Advisor
Considering whether or not you should click that sketchy looking link? Check to see if it's safe by entering the URL on this SiteAdvisor page. If it comes back "Site tried to download 5,000 horrible diseases onto computer" then you know not to go for it.
Not all web sites will come up with information, but at least some will.

Wayback Machine
Let's say you wish you could see the history of a certain webpage. What did it look like in 2006? What did it look like in 2008? Guess what: you can see that, for many sites. It is so cool.

Search Operators
Google kung fu. I'd add learn how to use "cache:" in case the cache isn't showing up for a particular webpage.
