- minot 12y agoSee also uBlock https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/µblock/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/µblock/cjpalhdlnbp... for ad blocking.
- belowsanity 12y agoI actually have that running on Firefox. For some reason my Chrome had random memory leak spikes from uBlock.
- gorhill 12y ago> random memory leak spikes from uBlock Chromium issue 441500: "Popup UI of extensions causes systematic memory leaks" [1] Related? This was finally fixed yesterday, but we will probably have to wait until Chromium 43 for the fix.

- steveridout 12y agoApologies for the shameless plug, but I've made a Chrome extension which should be useful for anyone learning a foreign language: Readlang | https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/readlang-web-reader/odpdkefpnfejbfnmdilmfhephfffmfoh https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/readlang-web-reade... It allows you to read web-pages in your target language, translate the words and phrases you don't know, and review them all later with flashcards which include some context from the original source.

- navbaker 12y agoJust curious, why specifically AdBlock and not ABP?
- deleted 12y ago[deleted]
- hardcandy 12y agoAdblock Plus has completely sold out due to their ''acceptable ads'' policy which whitelists 300+ ad feeds including most native ad networks (taboola, outbrain) and even some banner display ads now - basically, anybody who will pay them a little ransom. How can you claim to be an adblock client when you purposefully don't block the majority of ads?! Adblock is a category of apps not a single company. There are plenty of alternatives to support. As mentioned, uBlock is excellent. I hope they don't pursue the same commercial path as they become more popular.
- mapunk 12y agoHave you tried uBlock instead of AdBlock? I've like it much better since switching
- hamhamed 12y agoMy adblock is uBlock: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/%C2%B5block/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/%C2%B5block/cjpalh... I also use Ghostery to block more scripts that slow sites down, and to block Google Analytics for my startup (so no faking stats): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ghostery/mlomiejdfkolichcflejclcbmpeaniij https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ghostery/mlomiejdf... I'm also a half marketer, so I use Alexa, Similar Web, Moz toolbar, and Open SEO https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/open-seo-statsformerly-pa/hbdkkfheckcdppiaiabobmennhijkknn https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/open-seo-statsform...

- mcantelon 12y agoI've been using REST Console, which is useful, but sounds like Postman may have more features.
- joshstrange 12y agoPostman is an awesome tool that I highly recommend! It's awesome to be able to export your work and share it with co-workers as well.
- Zikes 12y ago+1 for Postman, I use it all the time. The history feature is especially great for me.
- DonnyV 12y agoI highly recommend Dev HTTP Client https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dhc-resthttp-api-client/aejoelaoggembcahagimdiliamlcdmfm?utm_source=chrome-ntp-launcher https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dhc-resthttp-api-c...

- stcredzero 12y agoOneTab. You can very quickly "bin" groups of tabs and save them in a format which I treat as a "stack." It would be even better if the OneTab page were searchable by content behind the links, but it's not a sorely felt need. Find in the page and Google are handy enough. It also saves a lot of resources that would otherwise be used by Chrome.
- jdmoreira 12y agoxTab saved my life! "Limit maximum number of open tabs."
- pauloteixeira 12y agoUse Panda (https://usepanda.com/ https://usepanda.com/) Pocket (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-to-pocket/niloccemoadcdkdjlinkgdfekeahmflj?hl=pt-PT https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-to-pocket/nil...)
- donut2d 12y agoI cannot figure out how to actually use Panda. There don't seem to be any signup or download/install links on that page.
- forgotpasswd3x 12y agoThere is (or at least should be) a link that says "Download for Chrome" right in the center of the page. It takes you to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/panda-4-news-inspiration/haafibkemckmbknhfkiiniobjpgkebko https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/panda-4-news-inspi...
- pentium10 12y agoLazarus: Form Recovery - Autosaves everything you type so you can easily recover from form-killing timeouts, crashes and network errors. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lazarus-form-recovery/loljledaigphbcpfhfmgopdkppkifgno https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lazarus-form-recov...
- kanzure 12y agoIs there anything like Tabs Outliner but attached to the same window? More like Tree Style Tabs. At this point I may even be willing to run mitmproxy to inject an iframe into every page or something :(
- Gambit89 12y agoThis is not quite what you asked for, but you can achieve a "managed dual/side pane" with a tiling window manager, letting the window manager keep the outline on the side rather than the browser, so that you don't have to juggle windows yourself. I do this with Tabs Outliner myself and it's quite flexible for me: when I want a full screen vs a side panel, I simply switch between the layouts.
- dmtintner 12y agoThere's TabMan. I think it has a much nicer interface https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabman-tabs-manager/hgmnkflcjcohihpdcniifjbafcdelhlm?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabman-tabs-manage...
- yourfriendbrett 12y agohttps://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sleeping-corgis/aeoigchbenpdnffkojonledmhhdkpfjh?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sleeping-corgis/ae... Replace all the images on the web with sleeping corgis! What could be better?
- steveridout 12y agoMomentum | https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/momentum/laookkfknpbbblfpciffpaejjkokdgca?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/momentum/laookkfkn... This displays a beautiful photograph on your "New Tab" page instead of a list of your most visited sites, which if you're anything like me is procrastination central. It serves as a reminder for me to slow down, stay focussed, and not obsessively check news, Hacker News, etc... (yep, it's not exactly working at the moment ;-) It also allows you to specify a main task for the day to keep you focussed but I only occasionally use that.
- fragmede 12y agoEmpty new tab page | https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/empty-new-tab-page/dpjamkmjmigaoobjbekmfgabipmfilij?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/empty-new-tab-page... When you open a new tab, instead of showing, well, anything, it just gives you a blank page.
- berwin 12y agoI also find Earth View from Google Maps as a fun extension too. It sets your new tab to a random location on Google Maps and you can open up the location in the Maps for more in depth looks. Earth View from Google Maps | https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/earth-view-from-google-ma/bhloflhklmhfpedakmangadcdofhnnoh https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/earth-view-from-go...

- artimaeis 12y agoCurrently | https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/currently/ojhmphdkpgbibohbnpbfiefkgieacjmh https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/currently/ojhmphdk... Minimal new tab showing the date, time, and weather info. I'm always opening new tabs - this way I keep a little better track of time and am much more likely to know what it's like outside.

My password was 100 chars (mixed) in length, but I also tried shorter ones, down to 15 chars. Now for some reason, all starthq.com pages are blank so I can't reset any credentials. Any ideas? Edit: Fixed by clearing localstorage on the domain. Angular really didn't like whatever I did!
