Screen Capture is my favorite Chrome Extension. What I find especially good about it are (1) It can capture a large screen without the user having to manually zoom down (2) It supports text entry, highlighting, redaction and other annotation facilities (3) It gives a choice of copying to clipboard and save as PNG file.

First of all I prefer the Click-to-play feature from Chrome Labs:- go to "about:flags" and enable "Click to play"- then go to Options > Content-Options and activate "Click to play" for Plug-insOther than that~ these are not really productivity extensions but I think they definitely improve your browsing:AdBlockhttps://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidomblocks all kinds of Ads, fully compatible with AdBlock Plus filters, you can subscribe to any of themMegaUpload DownloadHelperhttps://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/leekjckogogidfhpejjmaaekecplpdcgif you are often downloading from MegaUpload this extension will start downloads automatically once the wait time is overSession Managerhttps://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/mghenlmbmjcpehccoangkdpagbcbkdpcallows you to save your browser tabs into sessions you can open at any time(there are various of these on the Webstore,)Screen Capture (by Google)https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cpngackimfmofbokmjmljamhdncknpmgcreate easy screenshots of webpages, no need to "hide" your bookmarks or other tabs
