Wheres AdBlock? how can adblock not be in the top 30 Chrome Plugins! Could it be because this site would be showing everyone how to block its own annoying ads? (i realize it helps to pay the bills and keep sites free, but the type of people who read this site are going to likely be the ones to not click those ads anyway!)

I'm surprised by this list myself. Are those extensions really the best available for Chrome?
No Adblock? No Video downloader? And what about something like NoScript?

Not only adblock. But 30 useful extensions? REALLY? 30!

Anyone that uses more than 5 extensions might be out of league. You don't want to install 30!

The chrome's extension is really great and useful but to me lastpass and adblocker are the most handy and great extension created by chrome. I just love them because they are so good.Thanks chrome

AD-BLOCK is NUMBER 1!!! Best of it, you can block anything you want in a page, not only ADs... pages get much more clean only whith things you use =D AD-BLOCK ownz! Chrome ownz since day 1!!!

very nice article... a lot of extensions, but most ppl wont use that much! I use only four:
AdBlock, Google Analytics OFF, Search by Image and GMail! Its enough for me, once I had like 20 extensions, but the chrome get slow and I didn't use half of them, so I reinstalled only with the ones I always use =)
