The official Google Chrome/Chromium Extensions page is here:
https://chrome.google.com/extensions

StumbleUpon - works

YouTube HTML5-ifier - works great!

This extensions contains a simple content script which replaces the standard Flash-based YouTube video player with HTML5's new video tag which natively supports video. Video played this way will be more efficient and require less CPU.

An attempt is made to automatically play the best format possible (HD if available). https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/kchoimdlcbapmcdnheaahjcdpdjdpfco

Lyrics - YouTube - doesn't work

XMarks for Chrome/ium is annoying. I can't remove their button from the toolbar, and when I have no internet it displays an error message when it tries to sync.

Feedly works almost perfectly, except for the toolbar button I can't remove.

FlashBlock works perfectly.

AdBlock works, but it doesn't block every ad.

I have been using only "AdBlock". I'll disable it and install AdBlock Plus to see how it works. Thanks.

EDIT: Damn it! Another button on my toolbar!

Greasemonkey Works in Google Chrome!


Google chrome and Greasemonkey script

As Google chrome is making a buzz everywhere, here is a cute little way to install Greasemonkey scripts on Chrome browser. Do check out Firefox chrome addon list for other useful chromelets! Drag this Monkey to your Google chrome browser bookmark bar (credit – Joshie). Now this “Monkey” will enable any userscripts to be automatically turned into bookmarklets.Most of the greasemonkey scripts will work expect some which has specific functions (like cross site AJAX)http://blogote.com/2008/ideas/browser-ideas/how-to-install-greasemonkeys-script-on-google-chrome.html

Just dragged the Chrome Monkey to my bookmarks bar and installed the Craigslist locations filter script and it works flawlessly.
