Basically post links to extensions for Google Chrome
Like you can request them, share them or discuss them

The cat will read replies and post the extensions recommended on the OP
(if the extension is good of course)

List of useful extensions
Adblock
The cat has no idea if this is as good as the FireFox one
Tried it with Youtubes and fo0und no ads so far.

AdblockPlus
same author as Adblock Plus from firefox
https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb?hl=en

IE Tab
It's for accessing Asian websites better, specifically, Chinese, Japanese and Korean
for example, Korean Nexon's website is crap unless if you use it with IE

Google Translate
Because we're all weeaboos
https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/aapbdbdomjkkjkaonfhkkikfgjllcleb?hl=en

Speed Dial
Because Speed Dial is awesome
too bad it doesn't have groups like firefox
the cat has like 9001 dials on firefox
https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/dgpdioedihjhncjafcpgbbjdpbbkikmi?hl=en

WOT
It helps you have a better judgment of websites you're not sure or familiar with
useful for knowing what's a really bad website
https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/bhmmomiinigofkjcapegjjndpbikblnp?hl=en

Now, the real reason the cat made this thread is that the cat wants a fair judgment of Google Chrome

The cat's requests
is there an extension similar to noscript
Osayidan wrote on 2011-01-09 16:18

I haven't found a noscript, though in FF I was using noscript as my adblock, so I just got adblock for chrome.

What I really need is a "save images in folder" extension, like firefox has where you can create a list of folders, and when you right click an image you can save it to one of those folders directly without opening any save boxes. You can then double click a image to save it to the last used folder.

Makes harvesting photo galleries much easier. I still open up FF when I go image hunting, it's the last thing I need before I delete firefox.

Wikipedia Companion - Mini Wiki Browse
It's a portable Wikipedia without the need of opening a new browser.

Jimmy Wales

This extension adds a nice Wikipedia donation banner to every single web page

It's hilarious.

Ctrl+F. I did it without thinking, since I'm used to Firefox having it, and it worked for Chrome too. I kind of like Chrome's better.

Google Dictionary

I love Chrome. I recently switched. It's 100% faster than my firefox. I think my firefox or maybe firefox in general is too bloated and is very slow, compared to Chrome which is much more sleek and defiantly faster.

Anyways, I wonder if there is a get mp3 thing for youtube like firefox has :what:

I use that, to grab Touhou music from Touhou Flashes so that I don't have to hunt for the mp3.

Also...

LF> Touhou Themes for Chrome >.<

I wonder how I'd go about making my own. I'm not really good at background sort of things.
