7 Google Chrome Extension that will make surfing easier

Google Chrome is a secure and fast browser, even though it is still losing in popularity of Firefox or Internet Explorer users but slowly began to climb up.
For me I still often switch between Firefox and Chrome because there are some plugins or features that do not exist (yet) in Chrome (Firebug, Pagespeed, etc.)
Here are some extensions / plugins that will make your surfing experience better when using Chrome:

AdBlock : Blocking ads in websites automatically filter based on a database that already provided, you can also manually block ads easily.


Flash Block : features to block flash on the website, very useful for flash-based ad blocking, and also speed up access when opening a site.


Chrome SEO : Good to use when you want to investigate the popularity of a website, and is suitable for the SEO and PR bloggers who want to check the rating, backlinks, Alexa Ranks, etc..


Chrome Bird : The best Twitter extension in Chrome. If you are a Twitter user, all offered at the original site is here.


Facebook Photo Zoom : Displaying photos on facebook without clicking on it, all we need to do is move the cursor to an image and it will display original version


WOT (Web of Trust) : Checking the security of a website, if its a phisher site or contains a virus or malware.


IE Tab : Internet Explorer Simulate tab in Chrome, so we can open a website which usually can only be opened by Internet Explorer. (example: Active X Web Content)


In addition to the above Extension, I still have a few more whose function is quite good, but when I tried it there was some bug that causes can not function properly, so I did not enter it into the list.
