Does Anesidora even still work?
Yes it does. You have to get the latest version from this site:
http://chromeunderground.blogspot.com/2011/04/pandora-extension.html
Enjoy
This is a great list. I’ve also drawn up a list of the “10 best chrome apps”: http://goo.gl/ER8dm . Do check it out.
I like the “Scroll to top Button”. For those of us who find reaching for the “Home” key to be far too strenuous I suppose. Can we have one to replace the “End” key now?
Yep, turn it upside down?
TinEye Reverse Image Search, Imgur, and AdBlock are useful extensions you left out.
What about Speed Dial 2?
Speed Dial Having drawbacks like hiding open recently closed tabs from the blank/new page, now u dont even need speeddial new look of chrome was good
what about firefox?
the similar list is currently being compiled for Firefox as well. stay tuned!
Yeah, where’s firefox? A couple weeks ago you asked us to provide all our favorite extensions for Firefox. Now you make a Chrome page…?
the Firefox one is in progress
Thanks:)
overwhelming but useful – the “tabs” organizer should be useful
Some links, like YouTube Downloader, are broken… you can search for them at Chrome Web Store, thou
Scroll to top link was broken. I searched on the Chrome extension site, but I want to be sure I’m getting the correct extension. The icon looks different. When I tried to load some of the extensions, they warned me that the app would have access to all my info. Are these extensions safe? That was an eye-opening warning.
Unfortunately the Chrome store can be a bit…fluid…at times. We’ve fixed some links that have changed. Scroll to Top button is temporarily not on the store but should be back soon.
great collection
Thanks for the list. Have you tested all of these? Do you know if they are malware free?
It’s impossible to know that they are 100% malware free, but none of them triggered my antivirus, and most have a ton of users who’ve reported no problems.
The speech to text is just what I need. And it works just fine, but now I can’t find any way to activate it, only the option to disable it, where is the icon.
I’m new to Chrome, and I’m back to Firefox for a while, to me Chrome isn’t user friendly. Is there some secrets I should know about?
As you can hear I’m kind of lost here, and a bit annoyed at google, why does it have to be that hard?
Have you tested all these? Since some of the links are broken, it causes me to question if these are all tested and safe.
Thanks for all extensions. Users will be much benefitted.
What about Chrome to Phone? Great app that can send Google maps from your desktop to your mobile
Thanks Peter, that extension is going to be in the revised version of the best of list.
MightyText is *AWESOME* – thanks for sharing it!
Are this extensions trustable ! t feared those may collect the info… any way thanks for the info am checking thoroughly…
I like the chrome application of http://www.thequizcenter.com that is https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ilagnajmjdobfhidldegnpomkhinccdi

Thanks for posting, good stuff!!
Awesome thanks so much make use of. Im checking out the boomerang email feature I think thats the best. Also found it interesting that you left out any facebook extensions for the social choices.
The list isn’t final yet and will be updated in 2-3 weeks once we collect some more feedback here in comment )
thanks for the input.
Aibek
Forgot the best one: Murdoch Block

thanx !
Hey, I am a blind man, using Firefox because it has the best group of extensions for accessibility. Chrome has not, so far, distinguished itself in this area. Can you briefly comment on Chrome’s extensions for accessibility?
Greene,
I recommend asking this question on MakeUseOf Answers.
thank for headsup, i passed your comment to the author who compiled that page.
Feedback noted.
Since SmoothScroll no longer seems to be available, then please, can anyone recommend an extension that can do what SmoothScroll used to enable me to do?
Thank you.
And this is why my main browser is still Firefox. Does anybody know if Chrome already has a counterpart of FF’s DownThemAll extension? I mean, why install an external download manager app when you can just have it as an extension of your browser… Or at least have a Chrome extension that can talk to FF’s DTA for those who have 2 browsers. X-D
Also, a DownloadHelper counterpart? Why an extension that downloads from Youtube only? How about an extension that can download videos from multiple video sites?
Hey Prex,
In case you don’t get the answers here try asking it on MakeUseOf Answers, http://www.makeuseof.com/answers/
Aibek
How i access the latest version???????????
video and music down loader????????????
The links automatically open the latest version.
I’d switch to chrome any day soon as it has pentadactyl
mantab
i would’ve clicked a fb like button if there was one
thanks we’ll check it out
A lot of these do not seem to work on Linux Chrome, or the Dev Channel…
I’m sorry Jnbek, I did not test these extensions on Linux or the Dev Channel. This situation does not surprise me, however, because as a Windows and Mac owner I know not all extensions that work on Windows will work on the Mac version of Chrome.
I’m sorry Jnbek, I did not test these extensions on Linux or the Dev Channel. This situation does not surprise me, however, because as a Windows and Mac owner I know not all extensions that work on Windows will work on the Mac version of Chrome.
AdBlock is also a nice extension
YouTube Downloader is no longer listed on the Chrome App Store. Do you know of anything similar that works as well?
I don’t. When we put up the list revision that will be removed. It appears Google for some reason decided it did not want people to download YouTube videos. I wonder why…
I don’t know of web/online programs but
youtubedownload.altervista.org/
and http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/
get the free programs any video converter for downloading videos and any audio converter can just download and convert to audio for if you like a song you find on youtube and want it on your mp3 player or phone.
Chrome is the best. I’m surprised Apple fell short with Safari really. They could sync the Mac Appstore so you can use web apps in the browser! Just a thought!
thnx a lot…
i am missing my loved one
It’s also available Balls and Numbers 2 on chrome web store
http://www.goodiesoft.com/ban2
You missed Awesome New Tab Page
thanks, we’ll check it out
Replace Bubble Translate with Instant Translate, which still works great.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ihmgiclibbndffejedjimfjmfoabpcke
what makes Instant Translate a better app?
Unfortunately, Bubble doesn’t work anymore. So I don’t think that it can be useful if it doesn’t work. IT is the only app which I have found and which works.
The reason of total “inoperability” is the recent turning Google Translate API off =(
This is great. I’m bookmarking this page to try them all slowly throughout the year
good collections
For google reader this one is the best designed – https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fdnglondfcmoiakaolanlglfchdhkdgc
thanks, we’ll check it out
thank you
your missing under tabs Awesome New Tab Page its amazing the best in its catagory in my opinion u should check it out. Also its interface is like windows 8/metro 8
Thank you for the suggestion, Aldair!
MagicCube FeedStore Google Feed Reader Is awesome ext, supports offline viewing too.
Sexy Undo or similar application too a must extension for chrome.
Speed dial should be there as it hides the recently close, restore session options on new tab page.
Definitely, a best list for chrome extension for what was I looking for.
when i install chrome in any system first thing i do is install the “AD-BLOCK” extension its amazing and easy to use, for those who don’t want to see annoying and worthless ads all over the page
Not only that you can also block the images of the page so next time when you open the site again it’ll load much faster then ever
a few more: ruul, htmltoexcel, skhtml, tape, fullscreen google maps.
thanks for the input, we’ll check them out
google scribe not working can any one help?
Issac,
the best place to ask this question and receive a quick solution is MakeUseOf Answers. Good luck!
Where any of these reviewed by this website or just scraped from the Google Web Store?
Stephen,
you’re asking a very valid question!
We did not simply scrape these extensions from the Google Web Store, we have gone through a bit of a process to come up with the best extensions. We asked readers and MakeUseOf staff what their favorite extensions are. The responses were quantified to identify the most popular extensions, the result of which you can see above.
Moreover, many of the extensions mentioned above, have been covered in articles published on MakeUseOf. We may be adding links to articles dedicated to a specific extension. We are presently trying to complete dedicated articles where they are lacking for other Best Of pages and may do the same for this one.
ireader works fine until chrome updated to ver18
What’s wrong with it now?
Hopefully it will be updated to work with the latest version of Chrome soon.
i like this site,it makes me feel greaat in IT
You can now add google adsense extensions to this list…because it is must for webmasters.
Silverbird works sometimes… sometimes it doesn’t… Same for Zametra [Wordpress.Com] What about scribefire or whatever the “new” one is called now.
Is there a free and easy way to convert a pdf doc to a Word doc?
Yes totally! Check out this article: Three Free Tools That Convert PDF Files To Word Documents
I have recently tried this Easy Facebook extensions. It´s quite new but I like that the actual comment is included in the desktop notification. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jafknefnkiolhmhbdpojkpdempbdmfap
I need some extensions for Chrome:
1. For changing/removing “Other bookmarks” folder
2. Add option for “auto hide” download bar (after 10 seconds would be great)
3. Option to directly open file from Internet (so, to choose wheter I want to Open or Save)
4. Add separators to bookmarks
Btw, how can I choose where to install Chrome? I would like to install it in C/Program files…
Zoni,
it may be a while until we update our list with the type of extensions you are looking for. Meanwhile I recommend asking your question on MakeUseOf Answers to receive some recommendations.
Check out ViewTube – simply the best way to watch (and interact) with videos on Facebook
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jpmdfboedkdealhjmnmkdhmgbaeajgfo
This list is obviously not updated, there’s Save & Mail my tabs, which is awesome.

My god
these are Amazing ;-O
ha!!!
i’m using Speed dial it’s awesome
HootSuite Hootlet is also great for sharing short links…!
I’m a big fan of Chrome and Youtube, and I’m very surprised that in the “Music / Video” section I have not found “Magic Actions for YouTube” browser extension. I think it’s the best extension for YouTube.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/abjcfabbhafbcdfjoecdgepllmpfceif
It’s not a spam or an advertisement. I just recommend the authors to add this extension.
Hey Garry,
Thanks for the input, we’lll definitely check it out before the next update to the page.
Aibek
Speed Dial is full of bugs! I’d rather list Speed Dial 2, which is way too much better.
Amplify no longer exists. It should be removed from this list.
Thanks.

A fantasic list of the best chrome extensions, some of these I have heard of and some I have not.
Click&Clean is a great extension and I recommend it highly.
Here is another favorite of mine. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kjajclaocdighkjplbekkofpmdbcjghf
Thanks for sharing, Jorge! Your suggestion has been added to our list of Chrome extensions to review for the next revision of this page.
@Tina COOL! There is a new version of the software and it got 10x better. Hope it makes the list.
Speed Dial 2 seems a bit of a glaring omission. Far superior to its competition.
I agree. It’s simplicity and functionality make it the best in my humble opinion.
Hey smooth gestures is not available in chrome web store.
Smooth Gestures has been removed for a violation of the terms of service. Apparently, they tried to slip in code that tracked users web activity without telling anyone.
http://fokke.org/site/content/chrome-extension-smooth-gestures-moves-dark-side
In my opinion Speed Dial 2 is one of the most useful extensions in Chrome. It’s right up there with Adblock, I could browse without it.
Layout Manager is also great for Tab Management. It allows you to save all of your currently open tabs and re-open them later.
Check it out:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nldhhcppalplgopagbhfehfmpmpefkim
There’s a really good working YouTube Downloader from http://www.oxytube.com

->> Invisible Hand <<-

Gives you a notification when there is a lower price on an item while shopping.
Works on most popular websites…

Must check out Zazoo’s new extension, in my opinion, the BEST Chrome music extension.

You’ll never need (or want) to leave the video…
Here’s a link to Zazoo @ the Chrome store
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/klejknfhlndliblcjflpmjpilclooill
A must for every music lover!
for music id3 searcher i wanna suggest musicbrainz picard for all osses
Just discovered this and simply had to share: My Cloud Player – powered by SoundCloud ! It Rocks
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nbfjhlpinelhnncgfpgfekddidnbnaab
&
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lknifikfkjjpclpholpdemhogkifnaca
My Cloud Player is the best thing that extends SoundCloud features to the limit.
Rapportive collects information on YOU – asks for your profile info on linkedin etc which it will no doubt sell for advertisiting purposes. It rarely comes up with any info on any of your contacts. When I say ‘rarely’ I mean it only came up with info on people who were also on linkedin. One person. Rubbish extension.
Thanks for the heads-up, Samlan. We will look into it and eventually remove it.
You guys should make a new “The best of”
Or post a new article every few months since new apps come out.
That would be helpful.
Damien,
We regularly review these pages and add new apps or remove outdated ones. We also take suggestions in the comments into consideration. So if you come across a cool app that is not in our list yet, please let us know about it. Thank you!

http://www.chrometofacebook.com – if you like updating your wall a lot, you can just drug and drop any photo from any web page to your wall
Enjoy

I really liked the app called “Currently” which puts a current time and local weather on my New Tabs. However, on one computer, it recently stopped displaying the weather. I wrote to the authors, but have gotten no response.
Does anyone else use Currently? Anyone with the same issue? Solutions?
Are the other Chrome Extensions that you prefer that would display local weather on a New Tab?
I personally haven’t tried out Currently. So, won’t be able to help you here. Maybe, you can ask this question in our Answers community – http://www.makeuseof.com/answers/
Isn’t working for me either… and I’ve installed it on Chrome at both home and work.
Its pretty cool. I guess they have updated it. Works perfectly.

You guys are missing the Any.do extension! It’s a MUST have, specially if you’re an Android or iPhone user.
We have done a full review of it here – Get Your To-Do List Done In Style With Any.DO For Android – http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/todo-list-style-anydo-android/
And I agree, it is a great app.
For countries without pandora and other music services.
Try the RandomTrax extension. (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ldpbfdbophioodnhdiolfnlneppmdngc)

Thanks for the suggestion. Certainly looks useful…
Did you try this extension? I use it to color my facebook https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cfajjdadjnjfiaongopenjclfpogiemb
These are awesome…I just stumbled upon this section even thought its at the top of your site…duhhh on me. Trying out at least 5 of these. Thank you for this makeuseof team.
Great list. I’ve got a few of these installed. Another good one is Fastest Chrome.
Web2pdf converter & unblock extensions are also usefull!!!
great extentions!
but is there anything similar to Firefox’s Downthemall, or something that can become an alternative to it?
and a tab management that change chrome tab’s behaviour to become those in Firefox, tab scrolling (including view all tabs option) instead of super small tab when I open many tabs?
What about Pixlr Grabber? Its great for taking screenshots and editing them in-browser.

Good list!
nice list. my favourite one would definitely be AdBlock. But there is one more nice extension that I can recommend (and is not in the list) called Instant Search. It speeds up my searches on many sites using shortcut words. I was missing this functionality from firefox, but this extension does the trick. it’s homepage is http://instantsearchextension.com/
Thanks for the recommendation. Looks useful.
Poper Blocker – Pop-under blocker!!!
Blocks all these annoying popups and popunders that pop no matter where you click on a page.

Love the Boomerang app, very useful, but its a trial full version is 15dlls p/month
My favourite is Pocket (formerly Read It Later): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pocket-formerly-read-it-l/niloccemoadcdkdjlinkgdfekeahmflj
‘Chromium Wheel Smooth Scroller’ and ‘Currently’ are great extensions.

Do you hate Bing Maps on Facebook?
Replace Bing Maps with Google maps with the ‘Facebook Panda’ chrome extension. It’s an extension.
