Could we start a list of some favorite IE 11 add-ons? I find myself using it more often but would like to try some customizations with add-ons. So maybe some add-ons as well as enhancements for the context (right click) menu. Thanks.
Adblock Plus is the first thing I install. I am anxious for IE12 to come out. Supposedly it will be more Firefox like in its support of add ons.
There is a Google specific TPL that may be found here that's hard to find elsewhere. http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Browser/p3p/Default.html Note: Blocks YouTube and other in-page animations from Google when enabled. Am currently using Disconnect Search in lieu of a search engine although it cannot be loaded as an add-on. There is a Beta version out for IE that I wouldn't currently recommend as it's Beta software. This is simply search. https://search.disconnect.me/
Doing my best in not immediately wandering off topic - IE12 still looks like it will only ship with Windows 10 currently in Technical Preview. Many of us that are involved with IE were hoping MS would allow IE12 to be made available separately but that does not seem to be the case.

I was planning on upgrading anyway. Unless it goes subscription like I was reading about on another site last night. I guess we'll see. If so, I'll sit on 8.1 until I move to Linux. But like you said, probably shouldn't get too far off topic.
There're some security related addons. Not sure they work on IE11 as most of them don't officially support it. (BTW, VT link like this is still against ToS?) http://www.zscaler.com/resourcestools.php https://www.virustotal.com/en/documentation/browser-extensions/internet-explorer https://www3.trustwave.com/securebrowsing/download.php
Paul Thurrott has a nifty article on TPL's under Internet Explorer. http://winsupersite.com/windows-7/internet-explorer-9-feature-focus-tracking-protection
I'm aware of that, however all of extensions I posted worked fine for IE10/Win7, and IIRC IE11/Win7. I'm just not sure if it also works for IE10/11 on Win8.x. But anyway I prefer to use officially supported and maintained products to abandoned, so finally I dropped all of them.
When IE10 came out a lot of W7 people had problems with it. That is why i still have IE9 on Win7. Does IE10 work good on W7 now.
