Remember a time when the small blue Internet Explorer logo on your computer taskbar used to be the face of the World Wide Web even though it was just a browser? Yeah, I do too, but clearly we've come a long way since then. Now we have many other browsers to choose from. Roughly, 51.8% of web-users prefer Google Chrome, which leaves IE (21.7%), Firefox (18.5%), Safari (5.0%) far behind. But vanilla Google Chrome is for the noobs; the real potential of the world's most popular browser can be unleashed through some really interesting extensions.

1. AdBlock - Blocks most ads on web pages

Have you ever gone to a torrent hosting site and were embarrassed by some not-so-family friendly ads on the site? Or are you tired of the 5 second and above wait before watching any YouTube video? An ad blocking tool is what your browser needs and
AdBlock, is the best freeware in this category.

2. Black Menu for Google - Google shortcuts at your fingertips

Unless you've been living under a rock, you must have noticed how Google has been integrating many tools like YouTube, Google Drive, Maps, Translate, etc. together. But most users type out letters on the address bar. By installing the elegant 'Black Menu' extension, you can group all of these tools under one drop down menu. Saves your time and the browser doesn't look messy either.
