For me? Damn do I love Hover Zoom. It's an extension that, when you hover over an image link (e.g. from imgur), it will simply pop it up, full-size, in a new sub-window that goes away as soon as you move your mouse off the link. It's tremendously handy for Reddit, obviously, since so much of the content that they have are simple image links, but around the web it's a fantastic way to cut down on the amount of full pages you load in favor of simply hovering over links and having them pop up in front of your face.

I love Chrome, despite the occasional problems (such as the Youtube crashing this weekend) and the fact that it's somewhat worse at tab managing than Firefox is. (If anyone has any addons for that, I'd love to hear them.)

Invisible Hand When I shop online, this little extension pops up and tells me where the cheapest place to buy said item is. I have literally saved hundreds with this bad boy!

I don't use Chrome anymore having switched back to Firefox after a year and a half of exclusive Chrome use. I missed my Firefox addons. However, there is one Chrome addon that I discovered and loved and now also use on Firefox; Speed Dial. Whenever I open a fresh tab it jumps to my Speed Dial page so I can quickly access all the websites I frequent. My Chrome version was a bit sparse, but my FF version has 75 sites displayed between two tabs. I use it more than my bookmarks tab.

I am also huge fan hover zoom. Save me me probably an hour a day in clicking. The latest extension I have been using a lot is inFocus. Lets you select areas of any webpage, then creates a link with that area highlighted and the rest of the page disabled. Really good for sending links to sections of articles or promoting social media buttons.

just added Hover Zoom. I needs me my MLB.com Scoreboard and Chrome to Windows Phone (technically a WP7 app)

@Rorie I use Tab Menu for my tab management, super simple and gets the job done

I like to keep a pretty Spartan Chrome experience, but my favorite extension is the Chrome Toolbox. It has a lot of good options that make browsing a lot better. It has an option to use the mouse's scroll wheel to switch between tabs when the mouse is in the tab area. It doesn't sound like much, but it makes switching between tabs a lot faster. It also lets you pull any web video into it's own resizable window, which you can pin on top of everything else. And it gives you a confirmation prompt when closing a window with multiple tabs, so you don't accidentally nuke your entire browsing section.

Reddit enhancement suite. I was recently on a friends computer without it and was reminded how much it improves browsing on reddit.

Just the automatic page-loading alone makes it worthwhile.
