Use Chrome like a pro

7/15/2010 11:25:00 AMThis week I sent a note to Googlers about some of the Chrome team's favorite extensions. So many of them asked if they could share the list with people outside the company that I thought I would just do it for them. Here it is. We're proud of the Chrome browser and the great extensions that its developer community has created, and we hope you enjoy them! They can all be found at chrome.google.com/extensions.

See how many messages you have, initiate calls and texts, or call numbers on a site by clicking on them.AutoPager. Automatically loads the next page of a site. You can just scroll down instead of having to click to the next page.
