Google Chrome Extension: Customize browse

Finally, I have decided to add on some extension on my Google Chrome to enrich my surfing experience and make it more variety. Basically, what I focus on is to find some auxiliary tools to save my surfing time. There are six extensions here which I have installed them in my Google Chrome today.

1. Docs PDF/PowerPoint Viewer
- Automatically previews pdfs, powerpoint presentations, and other documents in Google Docs Viewer.
Comment
Very user friendly since user can read the document file directly instead of download the document first.

2. Dictionary Lookup
- A small extension that allows you to quickly look up definitions of words and phrases in the Webster dictionary (through OneLook.com). Hold Ctrl and double-click or select any word to look it up - an inline box will open to the dictionary entry of that word.
Comment:
First and user friendly. No need to type or copy a word to search its meaning.

3. Chrome TV

5. Ultimate Chrome Flag

The country name will only show the site provider's country. For example, all blogspot site is belong to United States, US.
