Answer:
These are my top 8 must have Google Chrome extensions I'm really using daily and don't deactivate/delete them after days or months. 1. iReader (makes reading news articles much easier) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ppelffpjgkifjfgnbaaldcehkpajlmbc 2. AdBlock Plus (blocks ads) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock-plus/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb OR try Disconnect http://disconnect.me/ 3. Speed Dial (let's you customize a list of your top websites) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dgpdioedihjhncjafcpgbbjdpbbkikmi 4. Google's RSS subscription extension (much better than similar extensions) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rss-subscription-extensio/nlbjncdgjeocebhnmkbbbdekmmmcbfjd 5. Boomerang (helps you easily schedule emails for later with Gmail or 'boomerang' mails back to you after some days, if the other person doesn't respond) http://www.boomeranggmail.com/ OR try Streak a CRM extension for Gmail, which also allows you to send emails later, among a lot of other useful features http://www.streak.com/ 6. Photo Zoom for Facebook (enables you to see the larger images of photo albums, profile photos and more whenever you hover over a zoomable image) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/photo-zoom-for-facebook/elioihkkcdgakfbahdoddophfngopipi OR try 'Hover Zoom' to enable zoom or all websites, as recommended here by . 7. Tabs Outliner (let's you manage and drag & drop your browser sessions; power users must have this) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabs-outliner/eggkanocgddhmamlbiijnphhppkpkmkl 8. StayFocused stops you from wasting your time, as recommended here by . The extension allows you to set up a time maximum time allowed per day that you can browse on distracting websites like Facebook or Youtube (which you define) and notifies you when that time is running up and then blocks you from accessing the time killing websites. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stayfocusd/laankejkbhbdhmipfmgcngdelahlfoji ----------- And I highly re-recommend 's recommendion :) The extension named https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/currently/ojhmphdkpgbibohbnpbfiefkgieacjmh?hl=en (shows you the current time and weather when opening a new tab) And here is a lightweight social-sharing extension I'm currently testing, that uses no background resources: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/share-with-facebook-twitt/cjhmhnomplgoidnkjdacpmpccmaplnmk Final new recommendation,that I'm still testing, but looks it promising: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chime/lkdfkbkkfdhhfnhgbphecddnpfnoedke (shows you all the latest notifications from social networks, including Quora)

If saving money while shopping online is your thing, then I'd definitely recommend: - CouponMate - https://www.couponmate.com/install/ Works for Chrome, Safari and Firefox. They monitor roughly 200,000 domains and variants for coupon codes currently. Roughly 80,000 of those have codes at the moment.

if you have a Kindle: "Send To Kindle" by Amazon , it turns any article into an e-book and delivers it to your kindle. Only downside is if the article is multiple pages long, you have to send each "page". That's why whenever possible I'll click "full article". For long articles, it really feels like you're reading a book, which is excellent because I have no desire to sit and read a long article on my computer or bright LCD screen tablet

I use a lot of extensions to increase my productivity: Adblock+, Pocket, The great suspender, Distraction free for youtube (a must have, it saves me a lot of time). As I'm working in a startup based on a browser extension, I'll add it to the list. We wanted a product for shopping online that could save you time and money. We wanted to fill out our information once and for all, and get rid of registrations for good. Thatâs why we created ShopCo: a smart toolbar that you can use anywhere - in any online shop â getting what you want is just a click away. In case you guys want to try it: http://shop.co
