Top Extensions For Google Chrome

If You have been smart enough to switch off troublesome browsers and switch to Google Chrome, Google Chrome Extensions are the best way to improve your Web experience.

What are Chrome Extensions?

Chrome Extensions are browser extensions that modify the Google Chrome browser.These extensions are written using web technologies like HTMLJavaScript, and CSS. Over 2,200 extensions have been published by developers, and are available on the Chrome Web Store.


THE LIST

1.AdBlock:We start off the list to deal with perhaps one of the most annoying problems that we face while browsing-ADS. Adblock answers that problem.Whether it be Facebook, Hulu or even your latest mp3 download website, Adblock get rids of ALMOST all ads, creating a cleaner, faster and more enhanced browsing experience.

2.IE Tab: Some websites are optimized to run exclusively on Internet Explorer. Microsoft Applications like Microsoft Outlook are said to work best on Internet Explorer. However as we all know, Internet Explorer does NOT offer that great a browsing experience and suceeds in killing Patience( atleast they do it me).So i just disabled Internet Explorer( click here for tutorial on how  to disable IE)  and use IEtab which creates a virtual Internet Explorer browser window which enables me  to do the work.

3. Stop AutoPlay For Youtube: There are many applications which turn off auto play for youtube, which can be an annoyance while you work on Multiple tab. Hoever this extension does go the extra chipset and does what it is meant to do...but with a difference : It also buffers the video! There are few applications which do this feat flawlessly , and this extensions makes it to this list for this reason.

4. Awesome New Tab PageTake the UI style of Windows 8, combined with dynamic widgets and bookmark rearrangement, and you have an add-on that breaks the records of browser customizaion. Must have Extension for all you custo-junkies who dont like anything the plain and simple way!

5. Session Manager: Session manager is a must have extension for those users who do multiple tab browsing and have no fixed schedule. Just save your browsing session using Session Manager and restore your tabs the next time you log on and have to continue from where you left off.

6. Turn Off The Lights: Watching videos on youtube is now much more fun thanks to this amazing extension. Click on the lightbulb that appears on the address bar  and the video is highlighted while it is being played. Click on the bulb again , and you are back to your normal youtube.


7.Chrome To Phone:If you're using an Android phone or tablet, you can use the Chrome to Phone extension to quickly send links and other content to your mobile device, either via the right-click menu or the extension icon. You'll also need to install the Chrome to Phone app on your Android device, where you can choose whether to open up links automatically.


8.TimeStats BetaWant to know where you've spent all your time on the Web? This Extension sits quietly in the toolbar logging everything that you do and then brings up a simple yet elegant  pie chart visualising just how much time you've spent on your favorite website. Follow the Additional link to see an even more detailed breakdown of the places you've been.
AUTHORS NOTE : TEENAGERS MAKE SURE YOUR PARENTS DO NOT INSTALL THIS ON YOUR LAPTOPS ;)


9.Download Master: Download mp3 becomes simpler. Need to download all files( not just mp3...but also ZIP or ny ither files you can imagine )  from a single web page? Download Master lets you see all avaialble downlaods from a particular page and lets you start the download.  the rest is managed by your INternet connection provider and Google Chrome Download Manager.


10. TinEyeIf you're looking for a bigger version of a certain image or want to find out where a picture originated from, then TinEye can help -- this reverse image search takes your source picture and looks for other matching instances of it on the Web. There's no icon added to the Chrome interface, just an extra option on the right-click context menu.
