How To Create Your Own Chrome Extensions. I should read this more closely. I would already like to add one thing or another to Chrome.

Auto Refresh Plus - Chrome Web Store. For good reason, my interest in such things has been piqued. On the Mac, I of course have more comfortable tools, but to simply refresh a webpage until it has a defined change, this one is more than enough.

philikon / weaveclient-chromium. Hmm, a Mozilla Sync client as an extension for Chrome. Unfortunately, there is nowhere properly indicated how to install it and some comments on the net suggest that it probably does not run stably with newer versions. But maybe still take a look if I find some spare time. With this I could then, for example, connect Chrome on Mac or Linux with Firefox Mobile on Android. Since on Android the normal browser can't even sync with Google's own desktop browser (which is really embarrassing), this might be something.

philikon / weaveclient-chromium. Not yet tried, it is a Chrome extension that integrates Mozilla Sync into Chrome and Chromium. With this, you could finally exchange bookmarks between Chrome and Firefox without having to go through XMarks. If someone now also builds this extension for Safari, I would be happy - the fact that I cannot properly sync between browsers, but each one cooks its own soup, is highly annoying. Mozilla Sync is free to use and behind it is a company that I trust much more in this area than all the others.

Who is used to Vi and uses Chrome: Vimium provides Vi-like keyboard control for Chrome. After a short period of getting used to it, it is really very useful and can significantly help in reducing the strain on the mouse hand.

Word This - Google Chrome Extension Gallery is very helpful, as Chrome is so stupidly designed that bookmarklets run in the same security context as the current website. This means you have to allow a website to run JavaScript if you want to use a bookmarklet like Wordpress's "Press This". With this extension, blogging moves to its own icon and out of the bookmarks bar.

Polyglot - a really nice plugin for Chrome that translates random words into a configurable target language. Why? So that you can see new vocabulary from time to time while browsing and thus learn new vocabulary easily. I'm currently trying it with Russian and it's really a nice method - with the few words you have enough context of the sentence to deduce the word. This of course does not practice grammar or declensions and conjugations, but as a little vocabulary boost from time to time very useful.
