Google Chrome Plug-ins with Tips and Tricks

There are tens of thousands Google Chrome Plug-ins / Extensions to choose from on the Chrome Web Store, most of them are free. These extensions can be installed on Chrome for Windows, MacOS, Linux, and also Chrome OS-based devices. Although those extensions are very helpful and convenient, they will consume a little bit of resources from your computer. You might want to have a good strategy to choose what should be installed or kept with your Chrome, since you donot want to slow down your machine.

Here comes some of my favorite extensions.

AddToany

AddToAny let you just do one click to share web page to many other applications. 

One thing I like is the ability to customize my own button to send email to my own email address with proper title and link in the body. It saves me many time to type in the sending email.

Adblock Plus

Adblock Plus really works and does what it says in its description. As well as filtering out annoying ads it also consequently yet inadvertently saves on your date allowance by blocking largish images contained within the adds it blocks.

Lasspass

LastPass makes it easy to keep your critical information safe and secure so you can access it whenever you want, wherever you are. Save all your passwords, addresses, credit cards and more in your secure vault and LastPass will automatically fill in your information when you need it.

 

Wordreplacer II

Word Replacer is a simple extension inspired by the popular 'Cloud to Butt'. It does much more than that, allowing you to create entire lists of replacements and customize them to your tastes.

Tampermonkey

Tampermonkey makes it very easy to manage your userscripts and provides features like a clear overview over the running scripts, a built-in editor, ZIP-based import and export, automatic update checks and browser and cloud storage based synchronization.

Disable Chrome from syncing 

If Your environment is managed by Active Directory You can use ADMX templates provided for Google Chrome and disable synchronization of data with Google with SyncDisabled policy.

Alternatively You can just manually set below registry key:

Text

Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\SyncDisabled

The ADMX files have changed some for the sync settings, but you could try a combination of the policy "Restrict which users are allowed to sign in to Google Chrome" along with "Disable synchronization of data with Google".
