Managing Your Chrome Add-Ons
This is a test…the screen for this blog entry should be blank, but if viewed in an RSS reader, all the content appears. :-)
These add-on managers not only allow you to disable or remove add-ons you may get while exploring; they may also work conditionally, meaning they work differently depending on the website you happen to be on.
Two fantastic Google Chrome add-ons that you might want to consider include the following:
- SimpleExtManager: A simple menu to enable, disable, and access extension options
- Extensity: Quickly enable/disable Google Chrome extensions
These image add-ons that can enhance how you interact with images via Chrome.
- Unsplash Instant: Every time you open a new tab, you will see a beautiful “high-resolution Unsplash photo that you can save and/or use as you like.
- Hover Zoom: Enlarge image thumbnails on mouse over while surfing the web. Works on many sites, including Google Image Search, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Reddit, Amazon, Tumblr and others. An alternative is Imagus.
