20 Must Have Chrome Extensions For Bloggers

Google's Chrome is the latest browser to enter the market and it has grown user base very quickly.

It is like a crossover of Opera's speed and simplicity with Firefox's extendibility.

Even I, a former loyal Opera fanboy, could not resist it. Trust me, it takes a lot to make a Opera user to move to any other browser and Chroem has it!

Here are 20 must have extensions or Google Chrome that you should give a try:

1. Clip To Evernote : Evernote lets you take notes and access them from any computer. With Chrome extension, you can clip selected text, page URL or even store full webpage for future reference.
2. Shareaholic : Shareaholic lets you bookmark/share to different social networks. More than 100 networks are supported and you can also rearrange/hide the networks.
3. ChromeMilk : ChromeMilk lets you see your pending tasks in Remember The Milk's to-do lists. You need to register for a free account and that's all.
4. Web Developer : This extension gives you access to lot of useful tools like CSS/HTML validation, changing image dimensions on a page and many more.

6. Aviary Screen Capture: It lets you capture a screenshot of open page and edit it using Aviary tools. You need a aviary account to save and host the image online. Useful if your work includes taking lot of screenshots. Take a look at screenshot of BWS I took:
