  • Webpage Screenshot. This extension lets users take screenshots of the web pages they are viewing. The screenshots are taken in Jpg format. It is fast and simple to use. Users can choose the exact size before saving/capturing the page. This can also be done in offline mode, thus ensuring a user’s privacy. Download and install at the Webpage Screenshot page. 
  • One Number. Remove the clutter on your Chrome toolbar with this extension which lets you have access to Gmail, Google Voice, Google Wave and Google Reader in one go. It also shows previews of unread items. One can can check the status of the desired service selectively or open up all unread items in all the four services. Can be downloaded from the One Number page.

  • Google Dictionary. The name says it all! After it is installed a small icon (book) appears in the address bar. Simply select the text you want to find the meaning or definition of and Double Click it to have an instant result displayed in a small window. One could also Single Click the Book icon in the Address bar and type in the word and hit Define for a Definition of it. Download and Install at the Google Dictionary Page.

  • IE Tab. Sometimes websites do not display results in Browsers other than the Internet Explorer. This is where the IE Tab extension comes in handy by opening the desired website within Chrome in an IE Tab! This is also useful for web developers fro testing purposes and people who access sites with ActiveX controls. Download and Install at the IE Tab page.
