The best Chrome extensions, according to the Google Chrome team
Apparently, the Google Chrome team has been circulating a list of awesome Chrome extensions around Google, and everyone there liked it so much that they published it on the Official Google Blog. You can see the whole list there, but here are a few picks I wholeheartedly agreed with:
Readability: Great for removing ads and extra cruft from articles, paring them down to highly-readable text.
Turn Off The Lights: Darkens video pages to highlight the video you’re watching. Works on YouTube and many other video sites.
After The Deadline: The ultimate spelling and grammar checker, brought to you by Automattic, the company behind WordPress.
There are more where those came from, to pump up your browsing experience. I’ll say this for Google: they have great taste in extensions for their own browser. It’s nice to see them encouraging their developer community, too.
These are useful extensions but for a die hard firefox fan like me it will be difficult to migrate to chrome. I have compiled a list of firefox addons equivalent to chrome extensions mentioned above on my blog

Those who are sticking to firefox but will like to have the functionalities of above mentioned chrome extensions will find the article useful.
Thanks and Cheers!!!
