    Question Recommended Extensions/Add-ons for Chrome

    I am looking for your recommended extensions/add-ons for Chrome ... especially those which are good business tools and make browsing easier, e.g. increased functionality of its tabs, previewing a tab without opening it, reload scheduling, image grabber/editor, something that will handle/view PDF's in browser, etc.

    I am new to Chrome, and honestly prefer Firefox, but my work servers have stopped me accessing Mozilla's add-ons as well as updating my existing add-ons. With all newer versions of FF being released, although these updates are "allowed", their functionality in some cases has lost compatibility.

    So any advice or recommendations along these lines would be sincerely appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    AdBlock.

    Best add-on ever, will take away all adverts on any site, and takes away the video adds in youtube videos.

    I'm still looking for a decent FPT manager to add on - FireFTP is the only reason I still use Firefox.

    I put Google Dictionary in which it allows me to check definitions on words.
