My Top 50 Google Chrome Apps & Extensions

Posted in Cloud Computing, Tips & Tricks, Webdesign, Coding & DTP

I’m a diehard user of Google Chrome. Been using it like forever, and the reason why is because of it’s super powerful extension platform. I have many installed, but only using a subset — most of the time — due to memory constraints and keeping my toolbar comprehendible :)
