Google Chrome is the fastest browser which is more secure and user friendly. It becomes favourite browser for most of the surfers. 

We can still boost its performance and features with Extensions.

A few useful extensions here for your chrome...


1. Adblock Plus - Surf the web without annoying ads!


    
Adblock Plus blocks annoying ads on the web. It can block other things, like tracking, as well. With more than 50 million users, it is the world's most popular browser extension.

 Adblock Plus is an open source project created by Wladimir Palant in 2006. Eyeo was founded in 2011 by Wladimir Palant and Till Faida to make its development sustainable.


2. The Great Suspender


Unload, park, suspend tabs to reduce memory footprint of chrome.

Tabs can auto-suspend after a configurable period of time or be suspended manually. 

Tabs can be whitelisted to avoid automatic suspension. Suspended tabs are retained after closing and reopening browser, preventing many tabs from all reloading after a restart (similar to BarTab functionality). 
Compatible with Session Buddy so suspended tabs are restorable. Very simple, intuitive interface.

3. Tab Cloud



Tabs were one of the best inventions in modern browsing, but they have become a burden, spewing forth like bees from an angry hive. They often get so numerous that it is hard to find the one you need, and only prayer is left if one of the multitude starts autoplaying an annoying video. They also eat up system resources – both RAM and disk swap space – reducing battery life and slowing your computer.
TabCloud is the answer – it allows you to save a load of tabs to a cloud syncing service so you can open them at another time or on another computer with one click. It is easy to use, efficient and free.


4. Social Fixer




If Facebook drives you nuts but you just have to use it, Social Fixer is here to try and save your sanity.It can filter your News Feed, hiding stories by keyword, author or application – say goodbye to Candy Crush updates – as well as organise it better into tabs for grouped posts and give you ultimate control over the way Facebook looks and works.
The free extension will even fix some of the most annoying things about Facebook, such as constantly switching back to “Top Stores” instead of the most recent posts, despite you telling it precisely not to.

5.LastPass - A password Manager



Account security is a hot topic right now, with databases of passwords being leaked left, right and centre. But using different passwords for everything and actually being able to remember them is hard, and that’s where LastPass comes in.
A Chrome extension with add-ons or apps for almost every other browser and platform, LastPass is a cloud-based password manager. It stores all your passwords and login details, and syncs them securely between browsers and even mobile devices, allowing you to use random 24-character passwords without having to remember them all individually.


LastPass is free to use, but a premium option allows you to use two-factor authentication and a mobile app, should you need it.
