Some great extensions for Chrome.

I used to avoid Chrome extensions for the most part, regarding them as something that will only add overhead and slow things down. I was wrong, There are many great extensions. I cant speak for all of them but the security extensions I just tried are awesome.

Ad-guard - This extension blocks ads , totally removing the advertisements from my Yahoo mail. It also removes the commercials at the beginning of You-tube clips. This has many other functions but its removal of advertisements brings a couple benefits pages load faster and the removal of ads helps keep ad-ware off your computer.

WOT - Web of Trust. This page allows you to rate pages and shows you their current rating based on what other users have said. It also marks pages in searches much like Internet security software would do.

Disconnect - This extension visualizes and blocks invisible websites that track your search and browsing history. Speeding up your browsing and increasing privacy. 

These three extensions are going on every computer I work on or own. There is protection from malware, ad-ware, and virus'. But they also increase your performance on the web.

here is a great link for helping You-Tube stop buffering as much:You-Tube Anti Suck.

Another great link to Phil's Anti Malware Procedure. I have used this procedure many times now and it has always worked great. I do use Malware Bytes as well a great free program.

Sorry got off track, security is a big deal though.back to some more extensions for Chrome.

Fox Tab speed dial - I have been using this one for quite some time. It allows you to create pages of big buttons that you click and it takes you to a predestined web page of your choice. It also allows you control of what the button will look like through a selection area.

Last Pass - This extension will help you manage your passwords.

Google Translate - This is self explanatory.

IE Tab - So you don't have to deal with Internet Explorer anymore!

Some other extensions I have no experience with but I will be checking out.

Edit this Cookie -

Web Boost - I tried this out last night in conjunction with the you tube anti suck procedure and with ad-guard. I had very noticeable speed improvement while on the net.

U-Torrent - 

If you know of any great extensions let us know there are thousands of them and just not enough time to try them all.
