Title: Just installed Chrome, can anyone recommend any cool plugins?
Post by: wut on February 29, 2012, 04:46

I did it today, since I really got sick and tired of FF. Having to upload releases using IE at BS, CS and FT today really was the last straw. And I can't even UL files at IS with FF anymore, not to mention it needs at least half a GB of RAM when you open a few tabs. I really like Chrome, it doesn't limit you to a one step back in browsing history (you have to wait for the page to load before you can take another step). For now I've only installed Gmail checker, it works great and I have one less tab open than I used to have. It's supposed to be the fastest browser, I have to test that as well.

Here are some useful plugins for gmail, I found this one really useful "Ad Remover and Better UI for Gmail™", mostly for hiding contacts and chat option which I never use. I was used to my browser remembering tabs upon restart, so here are the instructions on how to set it up http://www.groovypost.com/howto/howto/remember-chrome-tabs-upon-restart/ (http://www.groovypost.com/howto/howto/remember-chrome-tabs-upon-restart/)

I start use chrome since I notice how fast it works with images.

Personally I use:

Exif Viewer: http://code.google.com/p/exif-vewer-extension/ (http://code.google.com/p/exif-vewer-extension/)

Search by Image ( By Google ) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dajedkncpodkggklbegccjpmnglmnflm (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dajedkncpodkggklbegccjpmnglmnflm)

exif viewer extension is for mac OS, I couldn't find the same one for Win (they're more complicated, 3 step EXIF viewers). I already installed search by image, it's great, tnx!

Tnx. I also like Hoverzoom, you can enlarge thumbnails by moving the mouse cursor over https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nonjdcjchghhkdoolnlbekcfllmednbl (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nonjdcjchghhkdoolnlbekcfllmednbl). But just like the EXIF extension it doesn't always work, good for social media
