Post your fav chrome extensions (17)

---

There's tons of really handy/time saving chrome extensions floating around the chrome store.

Here's a couple I use frequently:

Chrome

• Awesome Screenshot
• Trello plugin
• BrowserStack Local (browser testing)
• ColorZilla (handy hex colour picker)
• Disconnect (kick FB and goog off your porch. Sort of.)
• Evernote Clipper
• Feedly Extension
• iStock Large Comp (if you do design work outside of AM)
• MeasureIt! (pix measurement in the browser)
• StayFocusd (block everything)
• WhatFont (easy typeface picker)
• HTTP Headers
• Majestic SEO (backlink checker. Moz is worth installing as well.)

Bonus PS plugs:

• Alien Skin Blow Up 3 (some kind of voodoo magic)
• WebZapp (easy wireframes)
• Kuler (Adobe Kuler extension)
• Bounce (Dribbble client)
• GuideGuide (easy grid guides - 1,6,12 col etc)
• Cut and Slice Me (1 click image export + retina export)
• Banjo Actions (a cool set of really handy actions)
• Instagram Actions (start a hipster revolution on POF)
• Distribute Layer Spacing (a script that evenly distributes layers. VERY handy)

Got one you can't live without? Share it!

Adblock / LastPass hands down. Saved countless hours/headaches using these two!

---

- Firebug. (hacking apart sections of websites)
- Ultimate user agent switcher. (viewing sites in a mobile format)
- World clocks

---

I use Firefox rather than Chrome, but some of my favourite FF extensions include Copy All URLs (surprisingly useful), Firebug (must-have for debugging), NoScript (bit of a pain but excellent at stopping malware), Lazarus Form Recovery (absolute godsend - saves all entries into forms) and Greasemonkey for little usability tweaks to other peoples' websites

---

Here's my tool set:



Follow
Screenshot Capture
Ghostery
Zoom
Page Ruler
Web Developer
LiveReload
WebRank
SEO for Chrome
StayFocusd
LastPass
Stylish
Reload all Tabs
ADBlock Plus(lolmoocher)

Stylish + a script to change color schemes is awesome, I use it at night time to turn websites into a colour scheme more easy on my eyes, that + f.lux makes me brain happy, here's STM with it on

---

Love the 'mood' setting plug man

---

Have a tonne like you guys, but here are my faves:

- BuiltWith (this is awesome for finding out what sites are running in the engine room)
- Pingdom (site speed)
- SEO for Chrome
- Ayima (tells me if there are any redirects)
- Firebug
- AdBlock (paused most times to see what ads appear...can't use POF Spy with it on! haha)
- Awesome Screenshot
- Grooveshark Downloader (!!!)
- Speed Tracer

---

Builtwith is awesome, I use it all the time but have to go to the site. I didn't know there was an extension - thanks!

---

Hands down, one of the best tools to get an immediate understanding of what platform I have to make recommendations for when doing site audits.

---

haha no need to click refresh .. i am sure this is going to affiliates like ton of time lol

---

Heh, already got a realtime stats readout running so no need for that one. Realtime stats are so addictive, even when you know you should be working rather than staring at them...

Cool extension, though!

---

Thanks for the post! Had a few of these, didn't know about others. ColorZilla was especially useful as I'm colorblind and constantly having to reference hexadecimals.

---

I use Firefox but ANY type of tab organization is absolutely crucial for me.

If you don't organize your tabs i highly suggest it

---

suggestions?

---

Auto-Refresh?
I use StatsRemote, it keeps track of all your networks and traffic sources

---

None of you should be using an ad blocker!! dont know how many times i got random ideas from ads that i see

---

Yeah I just activate it when I want to use a website that has really annoying/intrusive advertising
