    Well, those are the extensions on my smaller laptop. I have Chrome on two other computers & on a flashdrive. Although I tend to use more or less the same extensions. At least I always have Adblock, WOT, Ghostery, Dictionary, GMail & Ultimate Flag.

    I have been known to use IE Tab & sometimes IE Tab Classic. I may remove IE Tab from my desktop computer.

    I'll give you a tip with extensions in Chrome, you can drag & drop the extensions 'jigsaw' icon from the 'Recently Closed' section at the bottom of the browser to the toolbar like a favicon. You can do it with others like 'Downloads' 'History' etc.

    Since Chrome insist on the insipid 'grey' GUI colour I also regularly use themes.

    How about speaking to your browser? Would it understand Worcs, Black Country, Geordie or Scouse I wonder?

    Anyone have the words to Prof. Higgins rant about, "Why can't the English learn to speak" or thereabouts?

    Edit:
    Is this a copyright violation?
    ...
    Hear them down in Soho square,
    Dropping "h's" everywhere.
    Speaking English anyway they like.
    ...
    Hear a Yorkshireman, or worse,
    Hear a Cornishman converse,
    I'd rather hear a choir singing flat.

    And more

    But people will still blame Google, won't they?

    Maybe it has become really unfashionable now that it is cool to speak in regional accents now in the British media. ;)

    Anyway ... I can't understand anyone south of the Watford Gap.

    I can't embed this link due to gremlins

    The extension NotScripts is strong as NoScript of Firefox?

    No. It is not as strong as NoScript due to limited Chrome available API.

    And the same is true for AdBlock Plus as well.

    That's why I use this little extension:

    https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/aeoigbhkilbllfomkmmilbfochhlgdmh

    Access to all Chrome's "stuff" from one simple icon. :)

    I had a look at it, it's pretty cool, but I think I can live without it.

    It's good for those migrating from another browser. Plus it also has the option to prevent accidental closure of multiple tabs.
