One that I haven't seen mentioned yet is Snowflake. An addon that allows you to help people defeat internet censorship by routing censored users to your Snowflake proxy.

From their site:

There is no need to worry about which websites people are accessing through your proxy. Their visible browsing IP address will match their Tor exit node, not yours.

The addon tells you how many people you've helped in the last 24 hours - In the few weeks I've had it, I've only had a handful of users, so it's not very resource intensive, but allows you to help without having to do anything.
