By far, my favorite, "shiniest" part of the Google Chrome browser experience is the extensions and apps. The second best feature, in case you are interested, is the security...no random toolbars!Chrome provides an excellent, customizable browsing experience with a wide variety apps and extensions through the Chrome Store.
- Apps...programs the run directly in the Chrome Browser. These can include games (Angry Birds, anyone?), software like Evernote and many other programs.
- Links...apps that are really just links to the online website of a cool tool.
- Favorites...you can turn your favorite websites and tools into a Chrome app icon...COOL!
- Extensions...apps the run in the Chrome browser but that generally run all the time. Normally, once installed an icon appears on the top right of the Chrome window. Many of these are utilities for smoother operation.
My favorites extensions:
- Awesome Screen Capture...easy screen capture tool that lets you select the part or parts of the screen you want to capture.
- Boomerang for Gmail...excellent way to write an email and save to send for a later date.
- Scratchpad...quick and efficient way to take notes
- Google Hangout...who doesn't like to Hangout? Much of my work collaboration with colleagues is through Google Hangouts.
- Evernote with Web Clipper...clip sections of web pages, add notes, edit, etc...
- Reviews of others
