The following plugin extensions are for use with Google Chrome:

» DOWNLOADS allows you to access the downloads window directly from the toolbar.

» PRINT the current page you see.

» BITDEFENDER QUICKSCAN scans your computer for active malware.

» GOOGLE MAIL CHECKER displays the number of unread messages in your Google Mail inbox. You can also click the button to open your inbox.

» SEARCHPREVIEW FOR GOOGLE adds preview images (thumbnails) to your Google search results.

» Docs PDF/PowerPoint Viewer automatically previews PDFs, powerpoint presentations, and other documents in Google Docs Viewer.

» AUTOPEN enables you to create html email signatures for Gmail and Google Apps. It has a full rich text editor that makes creating html signatures easy but still allows you to drop into the html source for more power. Create as many signatures as you want and associate them with from addresses to set up multiple defaults.

» AUTOPAGERIZE auto-extends paginated web pages, including web logs from Blogger, as well as Google and YouTube search.

» EXTENSIONFM turns the entire web into your personal music library. As you browse, ExtensionFM runs in the background indexing every MP3 file you come across, building a music library for you. ExtensionFM will continue to check the sites you've visited, adding new music for you to listen to every day. Works wonders with Dilandau and LastFM.

» MULTI GOOGLE NEWS offers news feeds from Google News using multiple tabs, multiple languages, and personalized topics.

» STUMBLEUPON helps you discover great websites that match your interests. Simply click the Stumble button and see the best websites. There are over 500 topics to choose from, and, the more you use it, the better your recommendations become!

We no longer recommend ...

» XMARKS BOOKMARK SYNC to backup and sync your bookmarks across computers and browsers. Available for Firefox, Safari and IE.

NOTE: Since Chrome now sports an integrated Sync feature, we suggest you rather make use of the same.

» SPEED DIAL replaces Chrome's new tab with your predefined visual bookmarks. Set the number of dials in the page, select your desired theme and background image,
and now use site logos as your speed dials.

NOTE: Since Speed Dial does not offer an automated online backup feature, we suggest you rather make use of a webware solution like Awesome Start, FavIt, Genieo, GloTouch, iGoogle, MyFav, Republics, StacksOn, Symbaloo, Transferr, Favetop, GetWapps or Gpanion.
