nice just downloaded Adblock, Google Wave notifier thing and IE mode.

That last one is really useful for playing QuakeLive on the net, means I don't need to switch browsers any more to play

Just went through a few and downloaded some that I think I'll find handy.

OneNumber (GMail, Google Reader, Voice and Wave checker)
Fastest Fox
Facebook
Beautify Facebook
The Dislike Button (for Facebook)
Google Tasks
Reader
Wikipedia
Youtube
ChromeDoro (Gives you a timer for doing work and taking breaks)
StayFocused (Restricts internet surfing time, so that you don't distract yourself)
Google Docs Uploader
Google Docs Viewer
Dictionary LookUp

Glad to have some extensions for it.

Are you using all of those at the same time? It will probably slow down your browser if you are.

Are you people so addicted to Facebook you need a plugin to tell you every second when someone writes on your wall?

I hardly ever use my Facebook account, but I got that plugin anyway because it's just faster than actually going to the site.


I will live forever or die trying.

I'm only using AdBlock at the moment. Man, I love it, it was so much simpler to set up than in FireFox; just a simple click of the "Install" button and it was done.

I'll probably add a weather extension too, since that's kinda handy.
