After posting about Firefox addons i am now posting about Chrome add-ons, and it seems that i am slowly getting addicted to chrome, and the thing is, the lot i hear about chrome’s updates and features, the more excited i get to use chrome instead of Firefox.

Again In this post I am writing about some Chrome Addons, that would be useful to web developers, System Administrators, and also to other Surfers who love surfing the net and downloading.

I won’t say i found the same firefox addons for chrome. but yes, the addons for chrome are increasing and its obvious they will, there’s google behind it.

  Firebug Lite: Benefits over Firebug Lite:
Firebug Lite for Google Chrome is basically the same you’ll see when using the bookmarklet, or including a script tag in your page. There are, though, some benefits by using the extension for Google Chrome, including:

• Browser toolbar integration, providing a quick access to Firebug Lite
• It works without internet connection
• Faster loading and no FOUC (Flash of Unstyled Content), once resources will be stored in the extension’s directory on your machine
• Firebug Lite will be loaded before all other scripts, allowing it to capture all console calls and all XHR requests for that page
• It is possible to activate the Firebug Lite for a particular domain, so next time you visit a page in that domain it will be automatically active.

Limitations:

• Cannot read external resources
• Won’t work well on pages with frames
• JavaScript debugger isn’t available
• Net Panel isn’t available

Monster:

Monster is similiar to yslow in firefox. The plugin is a mixture of chinese and english, which makes it unusable for many people. But still a good one.

cqstyle CSS editor:

See CSS edits in real time; slide CSS values across hundreds of variations.

• Type to see results instantly
• Click any value to slide it
• Use arrow keys on slider for fine grain control
• View and edit any CSS file on the page
• Size and arrange editor windows to fit your monitor setup
• Warns before closing so you don’t lose edits

Chrome FTP:

Browse your local disk and download files from your server using this FTP client for Google Chrome.

IP checker:

This one is similiar to show ip in firefox. shows the ip information of the current website.

Domain Details:

Domain Details provides the following information on the site you are visiting:

• Server IP Address
• Server’s Location. Based on a Geo IP database in the extension, does not poll an external service.
• Server Software. Shows icons for common servers.
• View server response headers within the extension
• Domain Whois Links
• Additional links to useful domain information

Videos At A Glance:

This addon gives you a summary of the video and related videos. See what the video is about before you watch it, without having to navigate away from the page. VideoSurf video summaries display selected thumbnails from the most important scenes in a video. you can easily find the video you want, avoid spam and jump to specific moments in a video.

• Google Search
• Twitter Profile Pages
• Twitter Search Results
• Youtube Search
• Youtube Video Page
• Yahoo! Search
• Bing Search
• OneRiot
• Reddit
• Digg
• and more!

Additional Features and Options:

• When watching YouTube videos, click on a frame in the summary to jump to that moment in the video
• Expand shortened URLs (video and non-video) on Twitter
• Enable/disable adult content in Related Videos

Adblock:
This is one another addon i truly would recommend to everyone, whether it be Web Developers, sys admins, or simply Surfers. this is one of the addons that i have been using for a long time in my Firefox (Adblock Plus) and also this was the first addon when i started using chrome. This helps you to block the unwanted popup ads, images and any other stuff that you would like block. with this addon you can block the unwated ads and the images and save a lot of Bandwidth.

I would also like to recommend a couple of post one from technobuzz.net and theother one from tutzone.org.
