We’ve selected our preferred google chrome extensions. This list is in no particular preference order (just click in the extension title to go to its website):
1. Better Gmail (unofficial)
It is a compilation of many great userscripts and userstyles for Gmail. Features: remove ads, fix page width, reposition print button, hide chat, hide footer, hide invite friends field, show unread message count in tab favicon, show in attachment icons the attachment filetype, add row highlight on mouse over, handle e-mail (mailto) links to use gmail. You can choose whether enable or not each feature.
2. Chrowety
A twitter client for google chrome. This extension eliminates the need of using a separate twitter client or always keep a browser tab opened to monitor your twitter. An alternative to this extension is the ChromedBird. Chrowety has more features and a better look and feel, but is more unstable than ChromedBird. Both extensions are very good !
