Vimium - I can't imagine using my browser without it anymore. I use it to: * move around the page * click on links * opening new page from browsing history * refresh page Basically the only time I need to use mouse or trackpad are pages that have incorrectly marked links (they just add some on-click behaviour without marking element as link)

h264ify - force youtube to use h264 instead of the VP8/VP9 codecs. Unlike h264, which can benefit from hardware decoding, VP8/VP9 are completely done by the CPU, so they eat battery like crazy on laptops.
- rasz_pl 10y ago
  just make sure your gpu supports accelerated h264 in all formats you are interested in (1080@60, 4K etc), otherwise Chrome will use its own internal SLOW AS CRAP unoptimized SINGLE THREADED software decoder which cant handle 1080@60 on 4GHz Haswell. While supposedly more cpu intensive VP9 plays just fine, Im sure its just coincidence.
  - guitarbill 10y ago
    Ha, I did not know this. I'm on a puny, 5-year old MacBook Air and h264 helps. The new Raspberry PI desktop (PIXEL) includes Chromium with h264ify for hardware-accelerated playback! (https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/introducing-pixel/ https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/introducing-pixel/)

All my extensions are like a handicapped version of Firefox feature or extension. Dynamite [1] - right click on anything than Dynamite / Hide element or selection and it removes a DOM element that was under cursor. Sometimes you have to to this several times to remove something. Firefox has Nuke Anything Enhanced [2]. It allows me to: - get behind obnoxious popups with no visible close button - get through dumb subscribe-wall - remove annoying floating navigation bars (really handy if you like to resize browser windows like me) The Great Suspender [3] - it unloads tabs unused for specified time and allows to reload them on click. I forgot which one I used on Firefox. FooTab [4] - blocks loading of tabs on startup - it would be great if The Great Suspender would do this (Firefox do this by default). I use uBlock Origin and HTTPS Everywhere, but that's just baseline.

When angular.js first came out, a chrome extension was released which displayed popular hacker quotes like "ship it" " when new tabs were opened. What was the name of that extension? I can't remember that after I sold my Mac mini, but that was my favorite.

UTM Stripper — removes tracking tokens from URL query parameters before sending network request. Uses an internal 307 redirect before requesting the resource. https://github.com/jparise/chrome-utm-stripper https://github.com/jparise/chrome-utm-stripper
- rasz_pl 10y ago
  why strip when you can block trackers directly?
  - aorth 10y ago
    Well UTM parameters are part of the URL itself, which is useful to strip so you don't request them in the first place, and of course for cleaner links when sharing. Using an ad/tracker blocker is complimentary.

I generally try not to use any, because for some reason I can't force myself to trust an extension w/o looking into its code--the process that eats too much time. So I have only 5 of them installed. From chrome web store: * blank ntp (shows a blank page, rather than the chrome default) * ublock origin (duh) Not from the web store (I "trust" them, for I wrote them): * copy_anchor_text * dereferrer * hn-dweller
- Yetanfou 10y ago
  I assume you also looked into the entire code base for Chromium (you are using Chromium, aren't you? Using Chrome - with its abundance of closed source gimmickery - would not make sense given your statement) before deciding it was worth your trust? While I understand why you'd want to look at extension code before installing it I do not understand the trust in Chrome. Given the size of the code base it is more or less impossible for a single person to decide its trustworthiness by 'looking at the code', given that a single intentional 'mistake' can make the difference between trust and thrash.
  - henry_flower 10y ago
    yes, I use Chromium, but mainly because Fedora doesn't have Chrome in their pkg repos. yes, I've looked into the Chromium src & have run away screaming, mainly because I'm not a big C++ fan. I'm fine w/ Google products. I don't trust a random extension from a random Vasya ThE HacKeR, especially w/ "read & change all your data" permissions.
  - sb8244 10y ago
    You can do things in Chrome extensions that really are quite scary. Turning that around to not trusting Chrome seems like a bit of a straw man.

For those who listens to music from YouTube while programming, I recently made a Chrome extension to generate a track list in navigation bar using the timelinks in the video description. It's a clickable tracklist, so you can play the track you want to listen to just clicking it, no matter if YouTube is your current tab or not. Also, the extension shows a notification when a track starts to play. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/timelink-tracker/abeeaknjabgemeaebpjbcomeaglnfnoc https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/timelink-tracker/a...

h264ify - force youtube to use h264 instead of the VP8/VP9 codecs. Unlike h264, which can benefit from hardware decoding, VP8/VP9 are completely done by the CPU, so they eat battery like crazy on laptops.

rasz_pl 10y ago
just make sure your gpu supports accelerated h264 in all formats you are interested in (1080@60, 4K etc), otherwise Chrome will use its own internal SLOW AS CRAP unoptimized SINGLE THREADED software decoder which cant handle 1080@60 on 4GHz Haswell. While supposedly more cpu intensive VP9 plays just fine, Im sure its just coincidence.
- guitarbill 10y ago
  Ha, I did not know this. I'm on a puny, 5-year old MacBook Air and h264 helps. The new Raspberry PI desktop (PIXEL) includes Chromium with h264ify for hardware-accelerated playback! (https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/introducing-pixel/ https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/introducing-pixel/)

All my extensions are like a handicapped version of Firefox feature or extension. Dynamite [1] - right click on anything than Dynamite / Hide element or selection and it removes a DOM element that was under cursor. Sometimes you have to to this several times to remove something. Firefox has Nuke Anything Enhanced [2]. It allows me to: - get behind obnoxious popups with no visible close button - get through dumb subscribe-wall - remove annoying floating navigation bars (really handy if you like to resize browser windows like me) The Great Suspender [3] - it unloads tabs unused for specified time and allows to reload them on click. I forgot which one I used on Firefox. FooTab [4] - blocks loading of tabs on startup - it would be great if The Great Suspender would do this (Firefox do this by default). I use uBlock Origin and HTTPS Everywhere, but that's just baseline.

  Well UTM parameters are part of the URL itself, which is useful to strip so you don't request them in the first place, and of course for cleaner links when sharing. Using an ad/tracker blocker is complimentary.

I generally try not to use any, because for some reason I can't force myself to trust an extension w/o looking into its code--the process that eats too much time. So I have only 5 of them installed. From chrome web store: * blank ntp (shows a blank page, rather than the chrome default) * ublock origin (duh) Not from the web store (I "trust" them, for I wrote them): * copy_anchor_text * dereferrer * hn-dweller

Yetanfou 10y ago
I assume you also looked into the entire code base for Chromium (you are using Chromium, aren't you? Using Chrome - with its abundance of closed source gimmickery - would not make sense given your statement) before deciding it was worth your trust? While I understand why you'd want to look at extension code before installing it I do not understand the trust in Chrome. Given the size of the code base it is more or less impossible for a single person to decide its trustworthiness by 'looking at the code', given that a single intentional 'mistake' can make the difference between trust and thrash.
- henry_flower 10y ago
  yes, I use Chromium, but mainly because Fedora doesn't have Chrome in their pkg repos. yes, I've looked into the Chromium src & have run away screaming, mainly because I'm not a big C++ fan. I'm fine w/ Google products. I don't trust a random extension from a random Vasya ThE HacKeR, especially w/ "read & change all your data" permissions.

One I didn't see mentioned already: I use something called EditThisCookie. I'm sure it has many features, but I just use it to quickly delete cookies for one site, primarily on my development sites. I use it a couple of times a day, probably. Most common use case: I switch rails projects, and being on the same localhost:port address, it tries to use my other cookies and causes problems. I delete them in 2 seconds.

For those who listens to music from YouTube while programming, I recently made a Chrome extension to generate a track list in navigation bar using the timelinks in the video description. It's a clickable tracklist, so you can play the track you want to listen to just clicking it, no matter if YouTube is your current tab or not. Also, the extension shows a notification when a track starts to play. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/timelink-tracker/abeeaknjabgemeaebpjbcomeaglnfnoc https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/timelink-tracker/a...

Wasa"Vi": https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wasavi/dgogifpkoilgiofhhhodbodcfgomelhe?hl=en-US https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wasavi/dgogifpkoil... It allows you to turn any <textarea> into a small vim-style editor (by simply pressing ctrl+enter). This and vimium really turn chrome into a full vim experience.
