Google Chrome Extensions?

[Robert Maxwell]

I've decided to bite the bullet and make Chrome my primary browser. I've been cruising around the extensions site looking for useful extensions to install.

So far, my hands-down favorite is Auto Patchwork. It intelligently detects content that is broken up into multiple pages--such as the threads here--and automatically loads them into your current page once you reach the end of that page. In essence, you could browse a 100-page thread without ever clicking a "next" link. It's glorious.

What other extensions do I need? I like anything that makes my browsing experience more pleasant. I'm a keyboard sort of person, so if you've got plugins that help minimize mouse usage, I'm all for that.

Personally I find that the extensions don't work as well and aren't as nice as the ones for firefox. Then again, as far as the browser itself is concerned, Chrome is superior. I find myself jumping between the two cause I cant figure out which I want to use

So, I've got some decent extensions installed, and I'll share my favorites:

* TooManyTabs, which is good for managing a lot of tabs.
* Google Mail Checker, so I don't have to keep a GMail tab open.
* InvisibleHand, which is pretty awesome for comparison shopping.
* 1-ClickWeather. Self-explanatory.
* AutoPatchwork, which is working wonderfully here and elsewhere.

I'm still not sold on Chrome. I don't care for the interface and I don't notice any speed difference between it and Opera.

I use Chromium due to it being better than Firefox at the moment (which has a tendency to occasionally stop responding for a second or two before continuing after continued use).

Chromium's adblock is not on par of Firefox's though since it only hides them and doesn't actually block them, plus it doesn't manage to hide all of them.
But it's ok as far as usage goes and I am not experiencing problems or slowdowns.

Will wait until newest version of FF comes out though.
Hopefully they will fix the problem I mentioned by then
