Best 5 Google Chrome Extensions

Once Google Chrome added Extension support to its browser, it attracted a huge number of developers, and now, Chrome web store, is becoming extremely huge with hundred of thousand of useful extensions. From all theses extensions, I have picked up 5 of the most interesting extension for everyday surfing.

FastestChrome

This the first extension I would add after installing Chrome, it is just an amazing tool to enhance your productivity by letting you perform routine tasks easily with a single click. Of the interesting features of FastestChrome is the ability of automatically load next page of search results. Also, just by highlighting a text, you can get an instant definition or alternatively, search on it in Google, Wikipedia, etc.


InvisbleHand

Many of us are buying goods or booking flights online, however we always want to save money and get the lowest price possible. So instead of surfing online retailers and doing comparisons, InvisibleHand will do the task and hunt the cheapest deal for you. For instance, when you search for product to buy, small toolbar will appear at the top of the page notifying you about the best bargains out there and also listing all other retails' prices who sell the same product. A 'Share Deal' button has been recently added to FastestChrome, so now, you can tell your friend on Twitter or Facebook about your finding.

Chrome Live Football

Being the most popular sport in the universe with billions of fans, you really don't want to miss any of your favorite's team games. Chrome Live Football let you check live soccer results of all major leagues and competitions.  The other cool feature Chrome Live Football offers, is it provides links to live streams of all matches, so you can enjoy watching it online.


FreshStart-Cross Browsing Session Manager

Want to check your favorite websites when you have your morning coffee,  but feel lazy to open new tab and type the URL of each site. Personally, the first thing I do is to check the world news, weather, facebook pages and some tech websites. I found it really hard and annoying to go one site by one until I found this session management extension. It allow you specify some websites, put them in a session folder and open them all in one go. If you have a set of websites that you regularly check at home which is different from the once you surf at work, you should consider using it FastStart. Additionally, if multiple users is using Chrome, everyone can set up a personal profile and configure it to suit their needs and desires.


Mail Checker Plus for Google Mail

As the name tells you, this little extension displays a list of unread messages from your Gmail inbox without having to hassle by going to your mail website, type in your username and password and all this stuff. Moreover, from within the toolbar icon, you can review the full message, reply, mark as a spam or even compose a new email saving you more and more time.
