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.

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.
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.
I'll come back to Internet Explorer because I can't use Google toolbar… Can you believe it? for god sake, I want to keep using the hover translation feature !!!!!!
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)
Type your comment here.
ok, i'm tryin to install the video downloader but it isn't workin ! some advice will be appreciated .
Awesome stuff. I plan to use some of these.
