So I just did my quarterly Windows reinstall, and since I always change something up each time I do it, this time I'm switching from Firefox to Chrome. Of course, having used Firefox for eons, I'm very familiar with a lot of the good extensions and tweeks out there... but I really have no clue about the Chrome ones.

So what are some things I should grab? I'm a bit of a minimalist, so I don't like to go completely overboard. Just things that offer basic functionality that should be part of the browser, really.

Of the top of my head, I'm looking for a user agent switcher. A colour picker would be nice, too. Maybe some kind of a debugger thingy too... Obviously any tweeks to make it even faster would be nice, too.

Anyway, in the spirit of this thread, here are the plugins I'd recommend for Firefox

- AdBlock
- Download Statusbar
- Rein (very simple, minimalistic theme)
- Rainbow Picker
- Firebug
- GreaseMonkey
