15 Rocking Google Chrome Extensions

br/br h2 1. Dual View/h2 p style=clear:both; For those who feel that even tabs are limiting, for those who cannot wait the two seconds it takes to control+tab to the next window, for those who need to see both pages now, the Dual View extension allows you to open two webpages in one browser. Navigation is a little funky, but for those who need to compare without flipping between tabs, you can’t do better than Dual View. p class=img-middle a href=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/10154_1.jpg img src=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/large/10154_1.jpg alt= //a/p /p a href=http://www.chromeplugins.org/plugins/google-chrome-dual-view/Get Dual View Here!/a br/br br/br h2 2. PageRank Status/h2 p style=clear:both;This extension will appeal to the OCD monster in you (or your crazy blogging habits). Page Rank Status, a bookmark extension, allows you to click and instantly see the Alexa page rank of any website, including your own blog, your friends Facebook page, or some other obscure websites you may be stalking. /p p class=img-middle a href=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/10154_2.jpg img src=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/large/10154_2.jpg alt= //a/p a href=http://www.thewwwblog.com/google-chrome-pagerank-status-checker.htmlGet PageRank Status Here!/a br/br br/br h23. Adblock+/h2 p style=clear:both;If we have to explain to you what Adblock+ is, you’re not a well-rounded Firefox addons user and you might be lacking critical comprehension skills. Nonetheless, we’ll tell you anyway, because that’s what we do. Adblock+ is a nifty extension that will take any ad on any website and make it magically disappear as if it had never, ever existed. /p p class=img-middle a href=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/10154_adblock.jpg img src=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/large/10154_adblock.jpg alt= //a/p a href=http://www.chromeplugins.org/google/chrome-plugins/adblock-7523.htmlGet Adblock+ Here!/a br/br br/br h24. Click and Clean/h2 p style=clear:both;The Click and Clean extension is based on the excellent CCleaner tool for PCs and it adds a small tab on the bottom of your browser. When you need to purge your browser history, your cache, cookies, and any other temporary data pertaining to your browser, push the Click and Clean for an instant virtual flush./p p class=img-middle a href=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/10154_4.jpg img src=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/large/10154_4.jpg alt= //a/p a href=http://www.hotcleaner.com/Get Click and Clean Here!/a br/br br/br h2 5. Bubble Translate/h2 p style=clear:both;Bubble Translate is a Chrome extension that will translate any text from a foreign language to your native language. To use, simply highlight the text you want to translate, and a small popup bubble will appear above it. /p p class=img-middle a href=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/10154_5.jpg img src=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/large/10154_5.jpg alt= //a/p a href=http://code.google.com/p/bubble-translate/ Get Bubble Translate Here!/a br/br br/br h26. Smooth Scroll/h2 p style=clear:both;The interesting thing about this extension is that it demonstrates just how anal some people are, and how…er…non-observant others are. Of course, the choppiness of scrolling in Chrome will be affected by your computer to a degree, but overall, you’ll experience a bit of hesitation when using Chrome. This can be remedied with the Smooth extension. Just note that some people claim to see massive improvements, while others see nothing at all. /p p class=img-middle a href=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/10154_6c.jpg img src=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/large/10154_6c.jpg alt= //a/p a href=http://www.chromeextensions.org/appearance-functioning/smoothscroll/Get Smooth Scroll Here!/a br/br br/br h27. Cleeki/h2 p style=clear:both;Cleeki is a right-click dropdown menu that allows you to perform an array of actions to any highlighted word or text, including searching it on Google, looking up its definition, browsing for it on eBay and Amazon, emailing it to a friend, and many other things. /p p class=img-middle a href=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/10154_7.jpg img src=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/large/10154_7.jpg alt= //a/p a href=Get Cleeki Here!a href=http://cleeki.com/Get Cleeki Here!/a/a br/br br/br h28. AniWeather /h2 p style=clear:both;This extension will display the current weather in one of 70,000 locations via an animation. It shows the current temperature, wind speed, and humidity, and displays the same info for the next four days. The location can easily be edited and the weather for each day is displayed in a flashing animation./p p class=img-middle a href=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/10154_8.jpg img src=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/large/10154_8.jpg alt= //a/p a href=http://www.aniweather.com/Get AniWeather Here!/a br/br br/br h29. Search in GMaps/h2 p style=clear:both;As the name indicates, this extension allows users to easily search for directions/locations of any address in Google Maps with a single click. To use, highlight an address and then click the Search in GMaps extensions and Google Maps will instantly be pulled up./p p class=img-middle a href=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/10154_9.jpg img src=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/large/10154_9.jpg alt= //a/p a href=http://www.chromeplugins.org/google/chrome-plugins/search-gmaps-7540.htmlGet Search in GMaps Here!/a br/br br/br h2 10. Page Editor/h2 p style=clear:both;Page Editor is similar to Firebug. Run the javascript extension, and from that point on you can edit the content of any website. This is an especially useful tool for Wordpress users, or high school students trying to convince their friends that they’re hackers./p p class=img-middle a href=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/10154_10.jpg img src=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/large/10154_10.jpg alt= //a/p a href=http://www.chromeplugins.org/google/chrome-plugins/page-editor-7697.htmlGet Page Editor Here!/a br/br br/br h2 11. oAutoPagerize/h2 p style=clear:both;This auto page script extension for Chrome will automatically load the next webpage in a series on whatever website you’re visiting so that you never have to click the next button. Perfect for streamlined web searches, for those who spend a large amount of time on forums, or scrolling through blog archives. /p p class=img-middle a href=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/10154_main_11.jpg img src=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/large/10154_main_11.jpg alt= //a/p a href=http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/33656Get oAutoPagerize Here!/a br/br br/br h2 12. Rocker for Chrome/h2 p style=clear:both;Rocker for Chrome, also known as Chrome Mouse Gestures, is an extension that gives your mouse the ability to ‘rock’ your buttons for forward and backwards browser control. Holding the right button and tapping the left goes backwards, while doing the opposite goes forward. /p p class=img-middle a href=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/10154_12.jpg img src=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/large/10154_12.jpg alt= //a/p a href=http://domainrange.blogspot.com/2009/05/chrome-mouse-gestures.htmlGet Rocker for Chrome Here!/a br/br br/br h2 13. Google Image Relinker/h2 p style=clear:both;Instead of fighting to click on the ‘view image’ link when searching Google Images, just use this extension to skip straight to the picture. Better yet, you can also choose to view the webpage hosting said image with or without the frame, effectively ridding yourself of the problematic redirection that happens when clicking the ‘remove frame’ link./p p class=img-middle a href=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/10154_13.jpg img src=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/large/10154_13.jpg alt= //a/p a href=http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/5059Get Google Image Relinker Here!/a br/br br/br h2 14. Scrolling Bookmarklets/h2 p style=clear:both;br/brThere are a number of reasons you could need to have hands-free scrolling, none of which are obvious until you actually need them, at which time you don’t have anything to do that because it wasn’t obvious beforehand. Don’t find yourself unpreparedâ€"download Scrolling Bookmarkets. /p p class=img-middle a href=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/10154_14.jpg img src=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/large/10154_14.jpg alt= //a/p a href=http://www.chromeplugins.org/google/chrome-plugins/scrolling-bookmarklets-7631.htmlGet Scrolling Bookmarklets Here!/a br/br br/br h2 15. McAfee Site Advisor/h2 p style=clear:both;If you’re the paranoid type, or simply wise enough to be judicious about the websites you visit, the unofficial McAfee Site Advisor extension is probably a welcomed relief. This extension ranks a website based on the security threat and will issue a warning if the site is too dangerous to even visit. /p p class=img-middle a href=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/10154_15.jpg img src=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10154/large/10154_15.jpg alt= //a/p a href=http://www.chromeplugins.org/tips-tricks/mcafee-site-advisor-bookmarklet-for-google-chromeGet McAfee Site Advisor Here!/a br/br
