Chrome Extensions

I had previously been a big proponent of Firefox until I found a number of Web 2.0 (Javascript heavy) apps were just pathetic to use in Firefox so I decided to try out Chrome. That was a little more than two years ago now and I’ve only looked back once or twice –  I do miss Greasemonkey and NoScript. Here are the extensions that I use in my Chrome web-browser;

• Advanced REST client – testing XML interfaces
• Chrome Remote Desktop – It’s not half bad for remote access.
• Evernote Web – note taking and documentation, save me from have text files all over my desktop.
• Full Page Screen Capture – useful for capturing multi-page length screenshots
• Google Cast – displaying my output to a conference room TV
• LastPass: Free Password Manager – great password manager with plenty of options.
• Postman – REST Client – another client to test XML interfaces.
• Revolver – Tabs – when your monitoring the network over multiple tabs, this will switch through the tabs at a set interval
• Secure Shell – when all you have is a Chromebook, this will do just nicely thank you, else it’s PuTTY all the way.
• Spark View, Faster than any native RDP client
• TelePrompter – great little extension that will automatically scroll your webpage when you are “monitoring”
• Web Developer – amazing tool that can helps a web novice like myself make sense of this HTML and Javascript world.

What extension do you rely on or find useful?

Cheers!
