LastPass is a free online password manager and Form Filler that makes your web browsing easier and more secure.

LastPass supports Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari for Mac as a browser extension (and Opera, Safari for Windows, Opera Mini and more via Bookmarklets).

To import Chrome passwords (Windows only currently), you'll also need our full Windows installer available on LastPass - Password Manager, Form Filler, Password Management

You can import from most major password storage vendors (such as RoboForm, 1Password, KeePass, Password Safe, MyPasswordSafe, Sxipper, TurboPasswords, Passpack, Firefox and Internet Explorer's built-in password manager) and export too.

Use the Evernote Web Clipper extension to easily save all the interesting stuff you see while browsing the web. No more bookmarks, tabs, or open windows. See something you like, clip it and you'll have it forever.

Evernote saves the content of your clip along with a link back to the original page. Clip text, images, and links into your Evernote account. You can then use Evernote to access your clips from the desktop, phone or the web.

Version 3.0 provides a bunch of new improvements: you can quickly search and browse notes, we've added loads of Options, and clipped notes now retain more of the style of the original page.

Xmarks is the #1 bookmarking add-on. Xmarks synchronizes across multiple computers, and across web browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer. After you install the add-on, click on the notification to set up Xmarks and start backing up and synchronizing your bookmarks.

Postponer is a pair of Chrome extensions to add to and manage your Read It Later reading list.

Postponer integrates RIL's great service (Read It Later: Save Your One Read Wonders) with Chrome's interface for a simple way to manage your reading list.

Postponer Adder (http://tinyurl.com/postponeradder) adds an icon in the Chrome address bar for quickly adding items to your reading list. It also adds an icon next to every article Google Reader to add it to your reading list.

Postponer Manager (http://tinyurl.com/postponermanager) adds an icon in the Chrome toolbar to open your reading list with all your unread items. From there, you can open items, mark as read, etc. It can also show the number of unread items in your list on an icon badge (go to the Options page to enable this).

The extensions were designed to be used together, but can also be used on their own. The reason why there are two extensions is because Chrome does not allow one extension to add icons to both the address bar and the toolbar.

A lot of links create new windows instead of new tabs, so JoinTabs moves every tabs of each windows next to that tab where you click the icon of JoinTabs.
You can also use (when active) the shortcut CTRL + m to merge windows.
After installation reload all tabs to use the shortcut.
The shortcut doesn't work in chrome:// pages as New Tab, Extensions

This extension allows you to perform searches or lookups without leaving the page. Simply hold Alt (configurable) and double click a word, or select some text. A small inline box will pop up with the results of your search or lookup.

This extension works for any search engine or online dictionary, and allows you to easily specify your own sources. You can also specify default scrolling actions for each source, so when you perform a search, the pop-up will automatically scroll to the appropriate section of the page.

Look at the screenshots and see what all this has to offer... take a sec to try and you love it. dont forget to rate 5 stars... no other extension is updated as frequently or pulls as many metrics into one place as this tool...

Shows Google Buzz shares as well as hosting provider info and can number SERPs for Bing, Yahoo and Google as well as Google Ad Planner data, Stumble Upon and now detects 46 of the most common web frameworks and javascript libraries, has popout ability, themes, adds PageRank to Yahoo, Google and Bing SERPs, detects robots.txt and has even more automated SEO suggestions to help do you job for you :)

Validates CSS and HTML, displays server software,checks for gzip compression, page headers and shares even more on-page suggestions based on accepted SEO knowledge... oh and it can defeat those stupid no right click scripts :) and does window resizing to see where fold would be on different size monitors
