The only one I liked wat Tabs Mix Plus. Although the sessions are so good on Chrome, I don't miss it. I also find the usability in Chrome leaps and bounds above Firefox. I've tinkered with Chrome extensions as well, but none of them are killer apps as far as I'm concerned. I like the dictionary add on that will provide a pop up dictionary definition of highlighted words as well as the Gmail notifier. But mostly I love the integration of Google search with the address bar. I've grown to hate the extra key strokes to search in other browsers. <br /><br />The new tab expose like feature in FireFox 4 looks pretty cool though. That is some impressive UX work I must say.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04154895668601672962noreply@blogger.com
