I know there is already a post out there for Safari extensions, but Chrome extensions are completely different. So, what extensions do you think are useful? Please read these simple rules before posting:

  • Include only one extension in each anwer.
  • Include a description of the extension, its pros/cons, and why you use it.
  • Link to the developer's website, rather than a direct download page.
  • Cite the application name like such:
    #appName by [developer]
  • Check to see if there are duplicates
    in this post by typing in the search box:

    searchTerm
  • Please do not give a price because that can localize your answer too much.

FlashBlock by josorek

No developer site listed

Description:

Sets up Chrome to default to blocking Flash content on webpages.

Pros:

  • Helps reduce download time and bandwidth usage since flash files aren't loaded by default.

  • Easy to adjust blocking filter to allow flash for entire sites via a button in the address bar.

Cons:

  • Sometimes removes stuff without an easy way to add it back with the extension running.
