    I've installed Google Chrome, as Firefox 4 sucks bigtime (had to downgrade to 3.6.17). The problem is that I don't know good equivalents to some of my existing plugins:

    NoScript (By default a site's JavaScript and other potentially harmful technologies are blocked. You can easily enable them by clicking on the icon.)

    Gmail Manager (in-browser multiple-account mail waiting indicator; one-click allows you to auto-load the gmail account you click on)
    I'm not looking for someone to do a search for me, I'm looking for recommendations on plugins you already use and feel comfortable with.

    As an aside:
    I've already installed these other ones I use, as they have a Chrome version of their software:

    AdBlock Plus (Prevents ads from loading; I <3 AdBlock Plus)

    Blank Canvas Signatures for Gmail
    (Create multiple signatures, including HTML format, and more options than standard Gmail)​

    For NoScript an extension isn't needed. Simply disable Javascript and add exceptions in your options.

    Hey I can never get chrome to adblock to block as much as it does in firefox. It wont seem to block ads on streams. So I am stuck using firefox unless I can get that figured out. Is the chrome one just not as good or am I doing something wrong?
