Best Top calculator extension for Chrome - Simple and Easy

Until recently i was using the Chrome's address bar for some quick calculations. Most of the time, i had to calculate percentages and simple expressions and i wondered whether we can store these simple formula so that i can come back and just change the variables to get the results. The search for this landed on this simple extension for chrome.

The extension sits near to the address bar, similar to just any other extension and it calculates the output as and when we type, similar to Google's calculator.

Below is a video on this.


The feature that i liked most is the ability to remember the expressions/formula for later use. I can just type in the expression and tell the extension to remember the entered expression. Later, i can just pull it back from History and recalculate with some changes.

Even variables can be specified and stored along with the expressions, so that when using it later, just the variable values can be changed and calculated.

Here's a video demonstrating this.


This extension is available here.

Automatically login to Facebook in Chrome - Quick and Easy Tip

I stumbled upon an extension that makes your life easy. It allows you to automatically login to your Facebook account quickly and easily.

Once installed, i have to setup my Facebook account user id and password in this extension. After that i can access my Facebook account in just a click on the extension.

Here is a Video demonstrating this usage.


At the same time, if you have multiple accounts on Facebook (Guess it's a rare scenario, except maye be some marketing guys), you can setup that accounts too. In this case, the extension shows up the list of accounts, whenver we land on a Facebook login page. We can login to any of those account in just a click, again!

Here's a video on that too!


It's surely saving me time! The extension is available here: http://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ihpcdjelcodenkpfkbaficnkgkmljjbf

I've directly referenced the author's videos. Hope it's OK :)
