Adduc's Addictions Just another WordPress weblog

Google Chrome Extensions

My currently used Chrome Extensions:

Adthwart

By preventing the display of ads, AdThwart makes browsing the web less taxing on both your computer and your sanity. Choose from a number of filter lists, including the continuously updated EasyList. You can just install and forget it.

It works pretty well, defaulting to the same filter subscription that Adblock Plus for Firefox uses. I can't right-click and block an element on a page like the Firefox addon can, but it's sure to come.

RSS Subscription Extension (by Google)

This extension auto-detects RSS feeds on the page you are reading and upon finding one will display an RSS icon in the Omnibox, allowing you to click on it to preview the feed content and subscribe.

It's a must-have for Google Reader users, as this'll pop up the familiar RSS icon on pages with feeds available, allowing the user to subscribe to the feed in their favorite client.
