I use Google Chrome as my browser, and all this while of using it I've come across a lot of extensions. Here's a list of extensions, I use that make my everyday internet browsing much simpler.
You're reading an article, you come across a word that you need to look up in the dictionary. What do you do? Hit the new tab button and google it, right? This little extension takes care of that; once installed, just double click the word on the web page and you'll have a pop-up above the word with it's meaning; you can also click the button on the toolbar to type in the word you want to look up. Click here to install this extension.
Another extension for Google Bookmarks users. This one lets you view, search and organise all your Google Bookmarks in a tree fashion categorized under labels. It doesn't support lists yet, that aside it's a great extension. Click here to install this extension.
