10 More Popular & Useful Google Chrome Extensions

1. Google Reader Checker
google-reader-chrome-extension
Google Reader Checker is very much similar to TPGoogleReader which we had seen in the previous post. This is from the same developer who developed the Gmail Checker extension for the Chrome web browser. It will display a new button in the Chrome menubar that shows the count of the unread news items in Google Reader.

2. AdBlock+
Probably one of the most useful Google Chrome extensions. We had seen AdSweep extension in the previous list and you can consider AdBlock+ to be an alternative for that.

3. FlashBlock
flashblock-chrome-extension
Personally, I hate those flash animations on the websites which considerably slows down the page loading time. Add FlashBlock and Flash elements won’t play unless you click them.

4. Google Tasks
The Google Tasks add-on integrates Google Tasks into Google Chrome by allowing the user to access the tasks directly from within the web browser without having to open the Google Tasks website. Simple and easy to use extension.

5. Google Wave Checker
google-wave-chrome
A simple extension that will display the unread Google Wave messages in the Google Chrome statusbar.

6. LastPass
Few readers complained that ChromePass (which was included in the previous list) was tagged as a virus by Avira AV. In that case, you can try out LastPass. It is one of the best secure password managers and generators around.

7. Xmarks
Xmarks is a popular bookmark syncing tool. It’s a longtime favorite of Firefox users and the Chrome version – though only in alpha testing – looks like it will be every bit as good. You can encrypt and automatically sync your bookmarks.

8. Vince’s Clock
vince-clock-chrome-extension
Vince’s Clock adds a clock to your bookmarks toolbar. This is also useful if you set your taskbar to autohide but still want the time displayed somewhere prominent. Hover over the analog clock, and the extension also displays the current date.

9. gPDF
gpdf-chrome-extension
This extension allows the user to open pdf documents directly in Google Docs. This means that no pdf reader needs to be installed on the computer system to read pdf documents. Also, it will reduce the chance that the document exploits security vulnerabilities in the installed desktop pdf reader.

The Right Way to Clean Your Keyboard, Tablet and Smartphone

By
W e recently came across the list of the top most dirty objects in an average household, and surprisingly, it’s not the toilet seat. Some of the items that were ranked at the top of that list have definitely made us think twice before making a call or looking up updates on Facebook. The keyboard on which you typed to get to this page, or the touchscreen that you swipe on are some of the most bacteria-rich items in your household, so keeping these squeaky clean should be a top priority. While there are lots of methods and products for cleaning these items, most of us ignore this. How similar do you find this scenario: Your smartphone’s screen is really dirty, so you rub it on your shirt, or a piece of cloth that’s close by, or you remember that it’s been some time since you’ve cleaned your keyboard, so you turn it upside down and give it a few slaps. Most of us use this (or a very similar) technique and think “Now it’s clean!”, but the truth of the matter is that it’s j...
