I'm getting ready to start another 30-day "The OS is Dead" trial in honor of the first look at ChromeOS (of course I'll do it with Chromium), and that means that I need to get Chromium in shape for the trip, which it's not by default. For my purposes, that means installing the following extensions:
Adblock+: You'll need to make sure that Chromium is fully updated for this one to work.
Facebook Enhancer: This extension pins the FB menu bar and side panel during scrolling.
Gmail Checker: This does the same for GMail instead of FB.
Google Bookmarks: This gives access to Google Bookmarks via a button.
Google Tasks: This creates a (hidden) task window on every page visited.
Jamendo Radio: This extension puts Jamendo at your fingertips. Unfortunately, it didn't work as installed and the links needed tweaking in the options.
Since I used the ZemantaFirefox plug-in for blogging, I needed to find something similar for Chrome. Zemanta's not the greatest, but it works with a feature set comparable to off-line clients. Luckily, Zemanta has a bookmarklet which causes the controls to load on supported pages. The system isn't automatic, but in my case, that's actually better since I can compose the whole post and load the components at the end, saving refreshing.
That's all I've done so far. I still need to find a video plug-in, I guess
Funny, I have most of those extensions that you listed haha.
It's true. If chrome can make a halfway decent add-on system while keeping the breakneck speed that exists in version 4.x, They'll be some serious competition for firefox on all platforms.
