Some more. Flash Block - must have Clearlook scroll bar - glad I found this, makes your scroll bar in any window stand out. Popcorn Ultimate theme - one of the most unusual but interesting themes I've seen. This deserves more attention for the small amount of downloads it has. A+ theme!
Ultimate Chrome Flag- https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/dbpojpfdiliekbbiplijcphappgcgjfn In address bar icon- Gives country flag of IP, WOT rating (for red rated sites it just has red WOT icon, does not block page) Mouse over shows web address, IP and country click the UCF icon and you get flag, country, IP and web address (hyperlink). Click the link and you are taken to domaintools whois info for the site. Geo location, Google page rank, alexa rank, Wot rating. see pics
Nice find acr, I like that one. Especially those who don't want to be blocked by WOT, they might find that useful. I noticed with the weather extensions, once I cleared all private data, I had to keep entering my default location back in. The following extension works even after clearing private data, and has the best layout I've seen. Moving thunder and all. AniWeather = top of the pack for me.
No you do not want to know, back on track of the OP's subject Extentions I use Adsweep really is a fast and effective ad blocker https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/milkhonmecplandlkfbjplfbdenjlkmp SiteAdvisor for Chrome (has a nice Icon only on the sites you visit: green check mark when OK, when unknown by SiteAdvisor it shows a question mark, when a known bad guy, you are (options) redirected to site info of Mcfee https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/dckheglehcdhpjkdmmmghbgkcdebhhae Creating your own Lynx/crippled browser The safest browser of the web http://www.vordweb.co.uk/standards/download_lynx.htm Some Wilders members take a browser which by design stores user add-ons in the admin space, runs with higher rights than its most bashed competitor (IE8 runs with LOW rights, FF runs MEDIUM rights) and remove most of its functionality (e.g. Noscript, FlasGot, WebBugs, etc) to mimic a Lynx bowser also called FatFireKitten (a slow starting cross over of FireFox and Lynx) For those who do not trust the concept (policy sandboxing) of Chrome and want to create their own FastFireKitten, newest version offers Noscript, Webbugs, CookieMonster like (simplified) options. See picture
True, it does. But that's not fool proof for mums and dads. Click & clean cleans all when you close your browser. Also clears flash cookies as well. Only uses 8mb of memory. Come on Kees, share the love, it's calling your name. Do it, install!
Was just wondering if that reference was pertaining to the "Google" part? Anyways, Chromium is a breath of fresh air. I use SRWare " Iron" and all the google chrome extensions i have so far seem to work fine.
True, when you use Chrome and secundary browser: my favourite is Iron. When you use it as your primary browser, I prefer Chrome Portable. You just can parse the Chrome switches to the portable application (e.g. GoogleChromePortable.exe --safer-plugins or --incognito). Reason for this difference (primary versus secondary browser) is that Trusteer Rapport works with Chrome and Chrome portable). Regards Kees
@ tobacco It´s all way too basic, not suited to "power browsing", know what I mean. All in all very disappointing, you would expect more from a company like Google.
The good thing about Google extensions is that I can use them on SRWare Iron. Although I only use the WOT extension..
Her are my favourite chrome extentions a) Bitdefender on-line scanner http://quickscan.bitdefender.com/ b) McFee Site advisor for Chrome https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/dckheglehcdhpjkdmmmghbgkcdebhhae?hl=nl regards
A bit OT but for you Iron users (probably same in google chrome) here is how to make "Scroogle" your default search engine. I use the https//ssl version. http://www.srware.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=816
What exactly is "power browsing"? And if you're referring to Chromium browsers being faster, more user friendly, and more secure you're exactly right. Soooo disappointing. Anyway, back on topic. I don't use extensions that much (I only have 2 installed and one of them is smooth scroll) but now that the Chromium browsers have so many extentions this kills the FF users one argument against it.
I disagree slightly. I've been using Chromium myself but Chrome's extensions are one level below Firefox's. Chrome's extensions API is just too limited compared to Firefox.
i am running chrome with DW .... doesnt seem to get ClickClean to run...Nothing happens which i select "clear browsing date"
I noticed that as well, DW won't allow Click&Clean to execute. So all your browsing history is kept. I'd just click ctrl+shift+delete, or use incognito mode for your non-regular browsing.
i see... when i browse with DW, there are 5 other untrusted applications running... running extensions like Mcafee , adblock, AdtThwart tec.. But i really like smoothest in Chrome...
I searched but could not find an extension to add an "enable/disable" toggle button for javascript (JS). In fact, I do no know of ANY way to disable JS in Chrome. Is there a way?
I just learned this the other day from Kees. (I think this is what you're after.) Go to Options > Under the Hood > Content Settings > Java Script. This puts a little box in the far right of the address bar. Click it to change from block/allow. Hugger
Maybe this doesn't work for Chrome+. Chrome+ DOES have Options > Under the Hood > Content Settings > Java Script. However, the Java Script menu only has 2 check boxes as follows: 1- "Allow all sites to use JS (recommended)" 2-"Do not allow any site to use JS" At default settings, box #1 is checked. I checked box #2 and the little box did NOT appear in the address bar. Maybe it only works for Google Chrome.
