Since I kind of ripped on the choices of Chrome extensions in my last post I wanted to go ahead and list the ones I use.  To be fair to Ed and the others I don’t know what they have planned for us so the extensions I didn’t choose to install now may become vital in the near future.

Digg for Chrome & Stumbleupon – I am bad at forgetting to maintain my social bookmark profiles so having them right there reminds me and makes it easier at the same time.

My Shortcuts – Gives me quick access to all the Google services I use all the time like Gmail, Docs, Wave, and Calendar.  It saves me some typing or finding bookmarks.

SEO Site Tools – This is my SEO addon of choice for getting info on the current site/page.  Describing everything it does would take a whole post but I highly recommend it.

SEO Quake – This is my other SEO addon of choice.  It does more but I mostly use it to get info on the sites that come up for search terms.

Speed Tracer – Professionally I’m a web developer and in house SEO so I mostly use this for work. Page loading speed is more of a usability/user experience thing but Google does factor it in rankings (not highly).

Table Capture – I need a better addon for copying tables (Firefox is much better than Chrome for this) but this addon at least lets me copy the text of a table in tab eliminated form.  I use this a lot.

Web Developer – Like SEO Site Tools this does so much and if your not developing websites then you wont need 99% of it.

Thats all of them.  Some of you may have noticed that I don’t have Firebug Lite installed.  Thats because I find the built in Chrome tools sufficient and for when they are not I just fire up Firefox.

I have been using Chrome since release and have tried out lots of extensions.  These are the only ones that have stuck.  I like Chrome because of its low memory footprint and speed so I quickly uninstall any extension that I don’t use.  Hope this helps someone.
