Empower Google Chrome with Firefox addon

September 6, 2008

Thanks to a friend called Pratyush who helped a lot in making these addon collection.Infact the entire credit goes to him.He also has a tumble blog and he blogs on Fully faltoo funny blog. A witty guy!

It came, it saw and it conquered. Google Chrome has been said as the most potential browser, though it has been criticized for lack of support of plugins or so called addons. We all like Firefox browser cause it has AdBlock, Gmail This, Stumble and what not! However, you can still get these firefox addon/extension type features on Chrome browser by using some smart bookmarklets, so-called Google chrome addons.

The list will be regularly updated so do subscribe for latest updates of this post

Google chrome is a brower with no addon compatibility feature,these bookmarklets will help you have some additional benefits which will be useful to some of them out their.Just make sure you have the bookmark bar enabled on new tabs.Click ctrl+b on your chrome browser and you will have a static bookmarking bar whenever a new tab is opened!

To use this bookmarklet,click on the hyperlink and drag them on to the Chrome Bookmark bar.

Disable/block Ads on webpage (Adblock for chrome)

Adblock+ Just drag and drop this link/bookmarklet on your bookmarks bar.Ad block removes “java, flash, background music, and third-party iframes.” Thus it does a handy job of blocking the ads on a webpage. Who says only firefox addon block ads ? Chrome too has a Adblock type addon now!

Stumble using Chrome

Stumble it - Add this link and click on it whenever you want to Stumble a page you liked. I like this bookmarklet better than the toolbar as it gives me more space.Another way of stumbling a webpage can be found here.

“Gmail This!” bookmarklet

Gmail This – Another very useful feature to mail any page using Gmail. For Google Apps Mail, try this(you will need to replace “yourdomain.com” with your own domain name).

Convert plain text URL’s into hyperlinks

Linkify - This is a cool addon bookmarklet to convert all plain text URL’s into hyperlinks on a webpage.

Social Bookmarking submission

Socialize – Submit a blog post from Google chrome to more than 50 social bookmarking website with a few clicks.

All in one video downloader

Video downloader – Remember the firefox addon which lets you download videos from youtube abd google videos ? Why not do the same with Google chrome browser! This code will let you download from Youtube and many other video sharing website.

Check Google Pagerank

Google Pagerank – Google toolbar was not available for chrome browser,the toolbar has a smart pagerank system,drag this bookmarklet and click on it whenever you want to check the pagerank of any website or blog.

Twitter Updates from Chrome

Twitter now – Drag this bookmarlet to chrome bookmark bar and whenever you feel like updating your twitter account just click on the bookmark to get a pop up which will let you update the twitter status and check messages.

Tumblr bookmarklet

Tumblelog – Sharing on Tumblr has always been easy, and it still remains on Chrome too.If you own a tumblr blog then this bookmarklet would be helpful.Just Drag this button to your Bookmarks Bar to quickly post to your tumblelog.

Dictionary,thesaurus and reference

Dictionary – One does misses dictionary under your mouse point in Chrome. No more now! Dictionary addon plugin is also here.If you are a thesaurus fan, just drag and drop this (Thesaurus) bookmarklet too on your bookmarks bar.Also you can add a similar bookmarklet for Reference too!

Google translation Chromelet

Translate Landed on a page that seems Greek to you ? No worry anymore, just click it and see the translation in English. YOu dont even need to know the source language.

The list will be updated with new addons/bookmarklets! Thank you pratyush for your generous help!

Updated Google chrome addons bookmarklet

Delicious Bookmark - Bookmark easily and quickly on Google chrome using this delicious bookmark. Drag and drop the bookmarklet addon and whenever you feel like bookmarking a page, click on the delicious bookmark link.

I heard ages ago that Google Chrome was supposed to support Firefox's plugins somehow.
I guess it was just a rumour now reading your post.

Such a shame, I believe that Firefox's popularity came into many groups of people by plugins such as firebug.
I, as a web designer, can't really use anything else than firefox because of the many plugins they have that I use every day, just wish there was a solution.

alexdong December 12, 2009 at 8:40 am

I found the Purifyr bookmarklet from Purifyr.com is truly fantastic. It literally makes reading on web enjoyable again. It takes any web page and turn it into a crisp, clean, printer-friendly page.

It's much better than adblock since it won't leave any empty spaces on the web page.

Sorry, the adblock extension sux, it doesn't block ads on facebook, and it disables THIS comment textbox. If I have to click a bookmark every time I want to block the ads, I'm going back to firefox (you can even block ads in IE7 & 8 without having to click a bookmark)

Is there a way perhaps to make the Adblock+ script run automatically when a page loads? That would make it much-much better, almost entirely acceptable for me.

Reply

Sascha March 18, 2009 at 3:01 pm

Hm, this is still a far cry from “AdBlock Plus” on Firefox. Pitty :-(
In fact, the lack of a proper Ad-blocking solution is the onlz thing that still keeps me from using Chrome as my preferred browser.
(it could even show text-ads, if that would make Google happier ;-)

mahvin February 12, 2009 at 5:24 am

An addendum to my last comment: export your foxmark bookmarks to a local html file and then import them into google chrome, this is the best method until Foxmarks develops the new add on for Chrome.

mahvin February 12, 2009 at 5:06 am

If you add folders to your Bookmarks Bar and give the folders unique names that identify the type of bookmarks, (I made several folders named My Email Accts, My Web Apps, Most Popular Blogs, etc, and added all the appropriate bookmarks to each folder, they show on the top bar (you can move the folders in the order you want them to show) and act just like a drop down bar, which works like a charm for me! Just thought I would share that. I also have a folder named Add Ons, which most of these are included, and viola, instant access and still lots of room on the bar left to use.

samela December 16, 2008 at 4:30 am

add a google bookmark of the current page (like gmarks)

javascript:(function(){var a=window,b=document,c=encodeURIComponent,d=a.open(“http://www.google.com/bookmarks/mark?op=edit&output=popup&bkmk=”+c(b.location)+”&title=”+c(b.title),”bkmk_popup”,”left=”+((a.screenX||a.screenLeft)+10)+”,top=”+((a.screenY||a.screenTop)+10)+”,height=420px,width=550px,resizable=1,alwaysRaised=1″);a.setTimeout(function(){d.focus()},300)})();

I guess I’ll try to like google chrome again..
before, I start to use other browser other than chrome because of its emptyness..but now, seems like its become better and better..

confusedConnor November 15, 2008 at 8:01 pm

Ok I put the bookmarklets on the bar, and it looks just like in the picture (where it says “Chrome is (almost) complete now”)
What is the next step?? Take google toolbar for example. In order to search I have to click on the ‘google search’ bookmark, and a searchbox pops up for me to type the search.

In firefox, using the true google toolbar, you can just type the search in the box..

christian audigier November 12, 2008 at 11:27 am

Google toolbar was not available for chrome browser,the toolbar has a smart pagerank system,drag this bookmarklet and click on it whenever you want to check the pagerank of any website or blog.

I think its great that people can make these but there is no way I will have Chrome back on my computer. Never have I had a bit of software that felt so out of my control before. I felt it was just one big lump of spyware and will not go back to it despite its speed.

christiandominic October 4, 2008 at 11:25 pm

Just happened on this site by accident when googling chrome add-ons; but “I’ll be back” as some Austrian once said.

I haven’t tried the bookmarklets out yet, but it seems to me that this is how it should be – put the bare bones of a product out and let the users decide on development priorities and provide solutions, even if they are quick and dirty – in thirty years in this business I’ve seen plenty of “quick and dirty” fixes become respectable features and add- ons as time passes. Viva la Revolution!!

Chrome is good but they have not done anything significantly innovative in the field of web browsing just borrowed good features of opera,mozilla and safari (not to mention IE) and came out with CHROME! i had expected much more new and cool features from google geeks. Any ways chrome is cool and i love to use it!! ;)

It’s useful to know that this kind of stuff is out there to add to Chrome. This is very handy.

I think that Chrome is good. I do believe that it can and will get much better in the near future though. I like the look; nice and clean, but man does it freeze up on my notebook! I can’t seem to figure it out. I’m not really even using that many tabs or anything. Firefox can handle much more.

Anyways, you better believe that this browser will grow. This is Googles “operating system,” so they will take some pride in it.

Awesome post and I’ll be back to read some more!
