Practicing my link-bait marketing headlines  On a more serious note, over the months I have curated a nice list of very useful Google Chrome Extensions so I thought some of these might be useful for you, they can be very handy in specific situations.  |

Anyone using FlashBlock? The most annoying thing to me is sudden loud audio. Not that the animations are great, but the loud audio sure is a pita!!
Just wondering if users are generally satisfied.

I use FlashBlock and am generally happy with it. The one feature I wish it had (which it may and I haven't found it yet) is to load *all* Flash objects on a page *one time only*/on-demand. Often times I find myself going to a site that has 5 or 10 *separate* Flash elements on it and having to click each one to enable is annoying, yet I may not want to white list the whole site permanently either. Maybe even a "temporarily white list this site" would be nice, so I could continue browsing the site that session even. Otherwise it's great though, no sudden Flash surprises! hehe.

Are you aware that your Adblock extension is not from the same folks who made the wonderful Adblock Plus for Firefox? For that one you need to go here: Adblock Plus for Google Chrome (Beta) |

Thanks for the info. Mostly I just want to screen out sudden noise as I mentioned. I don't watch online video very often. Maybe Leo Laporte on Twit TV now and then. I'll give it a try. |

Will these extensions work with Chromium or Srware Iron ?
Or they are only for Google Chrome ?
Thanks

For that one you need to go here: Adblock Plus for Google Chrome (Beta)Thanks for this tip There was a nice tidbit on a page for Adblock Plus for Google Chrome extension regarding the initially mentioned Adblock extension, FWIW: Please note that there is another extension called "AdBlock", which is not related to the Adblock Plus movement but also works great.

All the Chrome extensions I've tried have worked in Chromium. Iron I've had some that wouldn't work because the folders are not what the extensions expect. I think Chromium you have better compatibility than Iron. But I haven't tried Iron in 6 months or so. I've been using Chromium nightly builds. Currently I'm using 14.0.786.0. The only problem I'm running into is bookmark sync dupes. |

For that one you need to go here: Adblock Plus for Google Chrome (Beta)Thanks didn't know By the way technically you don't need flash block anymore, if you go to Options > Under the hood > Privacy Content Settings > Plugins Block All. Then you can enable instances by clicking on them or whitelist plugins/sites. |

Bookmark Sentry A bookmark scanner that checks for duplicate and bad links. https://chrome.google.com...bmgnimogcmcdenggkpdmihlga Last time I looked at it dupes weren't handled. I'm getting dupes on bookmark sync so I'm gonna' give it another try. |

I'm getting dupes on bookmark sync so I'm gonna' give it another try. Just ran it. Seems to do a pretty good job on bookmark dupes, but not folder dupes. Still, it saves a lot of time. Now if it just fetched favicons!! |

Nice ones Bookmark Sentry and Session Buddy seem useful. BTW you should definately try out smooth scroll, it makes all the difference in how much better the experience is getting.

Used to run it all the time, but with later Chrome versions under Linux/KDE, it wasn't significantly better. Great extension, still. I can't believe noone has mention Hover Zoom. Just did. Definitely something I will keep. Thanks for the recommendation, Alex! |

TabRocket is a must for anyone who uses more than one computer. It basically allows you to push a tab from one computer to another. (Requires that you use chrome's Bookmark Sync)

The latest extension I've added is DownloadersI use Free Download Manager. I was dragging links onto the target to download with FDM. Downloaders makes it more convenient. You can enable download with your download manager via left click for listed file extensions. If I have a very small file or it's something I want to show up in chromium download status bar I can still right click and use "save link as." I've been using it for a couple of weeks. I haven't noticed any weird side effects. Much better than dragging links to the target. |
