Good news for Adblock lovers. The extension can now block ads even before they are downloaded/loaded on the browser. Earlier, Adblock on chrome used to let the ads actually load, and then use some coding tricks to hide them on the page.
Things got better recently.
DownloadSquad reports that a latest change by Apple on the webkit engine helped Chrome to bring this feature on our favorite browser.
We can feel the excitement of its developers here on the extension page. ”New in version 2.0: Ads are actually BLOCKED FROM DOWNLOADING now, instead of just being removed after the fact!” they wrote.
Personally, I do not use adblock extension and consider ads as part of my browsing experience. What are your thoughts ? Do you use this extension ?

Okay, Let me present you these extensions in an order.
We will start with fast search, and play HD automatically for all videos, without comments, and with lyrics on sidebar if needed, and probably turn off all the lights on the screen and make it look like a cinema hall, and finally, click the auto replay button to have your favorite track repeated !
Fast Youtube Search
Adds a youtube icon next to the omnibar, and gives a youtube search bar with a single mouse click. Easy to search for youtube videos without leaving the page that you are on, or opening youtube.com each time you need a video.
This extension will make sure that youtube plays the HD version of the video whenever available. Really good if you have a fast internet connection. Others, its better to stay away from this one.
An article published in the Twitter Media Blog made this Chrome + Firefox extension an instant hit. However, it’s your call now. Try it out, and let me know if you like it !
Firsthand adds Twittery context to the web, scanning pages for proper names—people and organizations alike—and connecting them to Twitter accounts. (You can roll over any icon to see a slick, lightweight list of recent tweets.).
It brings in recent tweets from people and organizations mentioned in the page you’re looking at. You will see small twitter icon on the page if anything about/from it is available on twitter. Just mouse-over the little blue icons to see firsthand updates.
Here is a cool extension that will let you change the facebook chat sound alerts to a few sexy sounds. ( yea, really, there some sexy sounds )
Once installed open your facebook and see the new Speaker icon added next to the chat row, click and choose from one of many cool and fun sounds. When someone writes you a message the newly selected sounds will play.
