Chrome add-ons

[Rosie1]

I'm not sure this is the right section of the board. I didn't see a general computer section?

I've been using Firefox for a really long time, but I'm about to download Chrome to try it out. If anyone else is using Chrome, what are your favorite add-ons? Helpful, fun, any kind of add-on!

I use Chrome. I think the extension I notice the most is Web of Trust.

I have:

• Ad-Block;
• Avast! WebRep;
• Do Not Track Plus;
• Photo Zoom for Facebook;
• HTTPS Everywhere (currently disabled as it was giving me problems with certain websites).

That is all.

 

[RabbitLuvr]

Oh yeah, I have AdBlock, too. I only notice that when I'm using a computer that doesn't have it, though.
I probably have some more installed, I'll check next time I'm on Chrome.

I have ad blocker and the AccuWeather.com one, so I can see at a glance what the temperature is and click to get and overview of the day.

I used to have more but I wasn't really using them and they do slow things down.

ezLinkPreview. I love being able to get a quickview of pages when looking for something, without having to open a new tabs. It makes searching much quicker.

I like the Crackle app... http://www.crackle.com/chromewebapp/... it's still a free service and I've watched lots of tv shows and movies there.

I had installed the Tapatalk notifier, but just had an unpleasant experience with it while using my Internet bank. Apparently it tries to access a certain path for every website you visit. (It appends the path /redirector/redirector/mobiquo/mobiquo.php to the domain.) This gave me an error message saying "HTTP method Post is not supported by this URL".

At first I thought my Internet bank had been hacked! Needless to say, I've now uninstalled this add on.

I started using Chrome almost exclusively several weeks (maybe months) ago. The only add-on that I'm currently using is Adblock Plus.

In addition to Ad-Block, I just use the Google calendar and mail add-ons.

 

[Muggle]

I just have Ad-block and tumblr savior (handy little tumblr add-on which blocks all tumblr posts that contain any words on your block list (so mine has words relating to Dr Who because I get ****** off with all the Dr Who posts filling up my dash)) .
Oh and a LotR theme on it

 

[Chryssie]

I have been using Chrome for some time. I have Ad-block plus, AVG Secure Search, Privacy Safeguard, and Xmarks book mark sync. I use to have the HTTPS everywhere but it did cause some issues. I also have the LOTR theme.

 

[RabbitLuvr]

I use Tumblr Savior to block HP, LotR, and Glee.

I also just installed Unbaby.me, which replaces pictures of babies that might show in my FB feed with pictures of cats instead.

 

[Spang]

I've included more add-ons to the mix:

• DoNotTrackMe
• HTTPS Everywhere
• MaskMe
• Privacyfix

 

[Spang]

I've sprinkled some GifMe into the stew.

 

[SummerRain]

I could never get ad-block to work on Chrome which is the main reason I use Firefox now... has anything changed with it (i.e. should I try again?)?

 

[Calliegirl]

I saw so many people mention adblock plus I decided to give it a try. I love it so far, pages seem to load faster without all the ads.
