Block Ads In Chrome with Adblock Plus

Make GMail or Yahoo The Default When Clicking E-Mail Links Using MailTo
How obnoxious does it seem when you click on a link to a “contact” page but it isn’t a contact page at all, but instead, an E-mail address that automatically opens off Microsoft Exchange when you’ve never used the program in your life and don’t want to, either? Pretty obnoxious. Thankfully, MailTo: is an extension […]
Get Easy Access To Chrome’s Bookmarks, History, Downloads & More with Mega Button
In previous browsers, we’re used to having a menu at the top of our screen with all the familar links like “File” and “Edit” and all that jazz.

Manage And Save All Your Tabs To The Cloud With TabCloud
If you’re a tab junkie like me, you’ve probably ran into the problem of having more tabs open than you know what to do with. Scouring the internets in my normal day-to-day routine I find I like to save stuff for later, but don’t always want to commit to bookmarking it forever in Chrome. Also, […]
A Button For Sending An URL/Link via E-Mail in Chrome
I’m the type of person who subscribes to a billion RSS feeds so I’ve got LOTS of interesting links, but if I want to share them I have to pop open a new tab, load by E-Mail client of choice, and press compose a message. I know, I know… I’m a lazy you-know-what, but wouldn’t […]

Can’t Subscribe To RSS Feeds In Chrome? Now You Can!
I’m an RSS junky. I’ve got Google Reader set up to probably track 97% of all the websites on the internet. Okay, I’m exaggerating, but I love me some RSS.

#Winning is for #Losers [Charlie Sheen]
I’m so freaking sick of Charlie Sheen and all the demented morons who post #winning on Facebook, Twitter, and wherever else pop culture idiots go to hang out.

Notifications go beyond the concept of a tab on a browser. Just because I’m not CURRENTLY browsing a specific page on a specific site doesn’t mean I’m not interested in certain events or things happening ON that site. An RSS feed reader is one way we’re able to aggregate information on different sites and be […]
