Well, going to get doughnuts is considered as a form of arrestation refusal, so they'd be allowed to use violence after all.

Why would I upload my cookies? That makes no sense.

It comes from No Soup For You, and episode of this old TV show. And people quote it a lot.

*Topic revival*
One thing that bugs me about Chrome, more specifically, the extensions (not Google's fault) is that the better extensions get much less attention than the earlier, worse extensions.
Ad blockers
This is where it happens the most. I've tried about 5 to 6 ad blockers, and the best one was the one that was lowest in the ranking: AdThwart.
Maybe because the name isn't so catchy? It does basically the same as all other ad blockers, but it has one function that all the other missed: The ability to block a specific element that ins't shown on the page. Every ad blocker I tested allowed you to select an item to be blocked, but only adThwart would let you fill in the URL of the (mostly .js) file that you want to block.Webpage screenshooters
That's probably not a word, but you get what I mean.
The reason why I would use an extension for this and not just printscreen/snipping tool, is that there are extensions that enable you to capture the whole page, not just the visible part. Best one I found: Awesome Screenshot. It lets you capture the entire page, and provides a good set of tools for editing the image afterwards.Alerters
Dozens extensions out there that alert you when you have a new GMail, one that also tells you when you have a new post on Google Reader, or Wave in Google Wave. Also works with Google Voice (USA only =/). And, it displays the amount of unread notifications in the logo. Google Alerter.Other useful extensions
No comparing here, just a list.-Center Image (centers an image viewed in Chrome)
-IE-tab (Same as FF equivalent)
-Nice alert (Makes alerts more discrete, and they don't prevent you from browsing till you close them)
-RSS Subscriber (Obviously adds a RSS feed to your Google Reader)
-Smoothscroll (Speaks for itself)
-Obligatory Rapidshare and Megaupload download helpers.That's about it, add some more if you have them.

I have 50 extensions installed, about 10 in use.
Adthwart is the greatest thing I've ever seen. I use it to block at lot of stuff on forums. This place isn't much of an issue (except for liphttam's and WJUK's sig images), but a lot idiots on talkhaus have this problem.
IETab and Eyedropper are really useful for web design.
Tab Menu is something I don't really use, although it's helpful when I have 50 or so tabs open (and yes, I do that on occasion).
One extension I use religiously and isn't that well known is Feedly. Basically it does what Google Reader does, except it gives it to you in a much cleaner layout. (Plus I could never figure out Google Reader anyway.) It has a little icon that tells you how many unread articles you have waiting for you, so you can always check (heh, articles, most of the stuff I'm connected to is Cheezburger sites).
Then there's Chrowety, a Twitter tool for Chrome. That's all I use to check Twitter now, since it's just so easy.
Facebook for Google Chrome is pretty good, although it's been a bit glitchy lately.
I also have Beautify Facebook and Facebook Photo Zoom installed, just to make browsing easier.
Megaupload Download Helper is useful at times. Not great though.
Stop Autoplay for Youtube. Nuff said.
Oh, and one other one I forgot. FastestChrome will automatically load the next page of a site for you. So if I scroll to the bottom of this page, it will automatically append page 13 to the bottom of this page. Which is really useful on forums, or just for browsing Google.
Damn, I didn't mean to be a "Let's Share All My Plugins" post, but that's what it turned out to be. Sorry to follow up your post with this, Nyubis.

Heh, don't worry about that.
Google Reader isn't really hard to use. Click on "add a subscription, add every forum member's blog (just type in the URL) and it will detect the RSS feed.
Everytime you then visit it, it shows you what new posts have been made since your last visit. Very useful for Geekologie as well.I don't really care for Facebook/Twitter extensions since I'm barely active on there anyway.
Stop autoplay for Youtube looks greatly convenient *installs*
And I was gonna add FastestChrome too but I forgot.
EDIT: Trying out Google Quickscroll. Seems pretty convenient.

Chromed Bird is pretty useful, but PS uses it to death...

Slick rss is pretty good if you want a local rss reader,
It requires a second extension if you want feed detection though, called Slick RSS Feed Finder. I wouldn't recommend weatherbug for chrome , a good 40% of the overlay is ad.
unless you are already subscribing, but 1clickweather does the same thing just about anyway for free, and without ads,
third option for lazy weather viewing is just set some weather zipcode search as a keyword shortcut in the omnibar.Posted 1 year ago # -
Chromed Bird is epic; no new tab, no large desktop application, fast, and most importantly, accessible. It's how I spammed however many tweets I have...
...Which seems to have reset to 1,043 :< twitter bug

One problem I found with the Stop YT Autoplay extension, is that it breaks #t=2m30s. Any solution for this?
