Google Chrome Extensions for Social Media and Your Blog
By Ileane
Chrome - Google's Fast, Reliable Browser
Google creates internet tools with the goal of making our web experience more productive and enjoyable. When it comes to blogging the free software platform Blogger is the most well known blogging tool from Google with the exception of "search".
Most bloggers have installed the Firefox browser due to the vast quantity as well as the exceptional quality of extensions or add-ons (sometimes called plugins) available for Firefox. But software developers have now turned their attention to Google Chrome and the extensions library is quickly expanding to compete with Firefox.

What Chrome Extensions Do You Like?
Hey Mitch, It's great how the extension helps you organize your bookmarks that way. I prefer Diigo over Delicious but I use both, I'll check out that extension for Delicious soon. Thanks!
I have tried most of these extensions or Chrome.Scribefire is Good also Zemanta although I have been trying to edit blog posts in Windows live writer and stop chrome going too bulky
Ileane, hands down, my favorite Chrome extension is the Delicious Bookmarks Extension. It works exactly as I like and doesn't get in my way. It has freed me from having to think about "organizing" the hundreds of bookmarks I have in all of the different browsers.
I may just delete those browser bookmarks - heck I can't even remember what I saved.
Delicious consolidates my bookmarking, although I haven't done much with extensions on the other browsers.
Cheers,
Mitch

Hi Friends,
the ad-blocking extension "Adblock Plus" is now available for Google Chrome and can be downloaded from "https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/cfhdoj"
Hey saeed, I recommend using Readability for Chrome instead of Adblocking extensions. That way the site will still get credit for the number of impressions but I don't have to actually see the ads. Thanks for the share.
