A convenient time to list my Chrome extensions

Extensions are the add-ons that are the real reason most folk hate changing browsers. Feature sets, memory, performance, those come and go, but that familiar, customized experience is why we keep coming back. And why it's such a bother when stuff stops working, or when a new (or updated) extension blows up. 

Largely since I'm about to (as soon as I get some confirmation) load up the 64-bit Chrome, I needed to review the extensions I currently use in case something doesn't work. So while I was at it, here they are for your edification, amusement, or "Holy crap, you can _do that?" experience. I've listed them roughly in order of importance to me.

LastPass: Free Password Manager v3.1.55: 
I use this password manager all the time. It gives me convenience, security, and still more convenience. If Chrome 64-bit doesn't work with it yet, I won't upgrade.

Xmarks Bookmark Sync v1.0.28: 
I've been using Xmarks for year. Yeah, I could just use the Chrome sync function to give me those bookmarks across all my machines. But it wouldn't help for those occasions where I have to run IE, or if I ever decide to move back to Firefox. Xmarks just plain works.

SearchBar v0.7.4: 
I wrote about this a while back. This gives me a customizable search bar, which I find more convenient than using the Omnibox. Use it all the time.

IE Tab v7.7.24.1: 
Opens up an IE environment within a Chrome tab. Better yet, you can identify certain URLs that you know only run properly in IE to automatically open up in such a tab. I use this a lot at work (where, alas, a lot of our apps are still IE-centric).
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hehijbfgiekmjfkfjpbkbammjbdenadd

MightyText – SMS Text Messaging from Computer v12.6: 
Have SMS/text messages from my phone pop up on my computer? Let me answer (or initiate) them from my computer, which has a real honest-to-gosh keyboard?  Thank you very much, I think I will.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dkfhfaphfkopdgpbfkebjfcblcafcmpi

AdBlock v2.7.13: 
I occasionally feel conflicted over using this, since ads are what help pay for a free Internet. Then I work off a computer that isn't running this, and start to cry. Sorry, free Internet; we need to find a better model.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom

FlashBlock v0.9.34: 
Flash is a security risk. It's also damned annoying when you open a page and it immediately starts blaring out a flash video. Especially at the office. This takes care of that by replacing the Flash element with something you have to actually click on to invoke. (You can also whitelist sites that foolishly depend on Flash for everything.)

Google Cast v14.805.0.6: 
Chromecast any browser window (including ones with players other than YouTube or other Chromecast partners) to my TV? Thank you, yes sir, I should like that very much.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/boadgeojelhgndaghljhdicfkmllpafd

New Tabs Always Last v0.1: 
Puts newly opened tabs off to the right-hand end of the list, where God intended them to be.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nldmhfnlbkkdhboedalogjpeedjbmjgi

Hangouts v2014.730.433.1: 
I prefer an independent Hangouts setup to doing it in the Gmail window.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapd

Save to Pocket v1.9.2: 
I'm using Pocket a lot these days to flag articles I want to come back to and read later, rather than leaving them in an open tab. This extension makes marking a tab (or even an URL) dirt-simple.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/niloccemoadcdkdjlinkgdfekeahmflj

Favorite Posts for Google+™ v2.6.4: 
This lets me flag a G+ post as a "Favorite" — which means I can come back to it later for reading, viewing, etc.  I'm now using Pocket more for this, but it's still sometimes useful.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kbhljnodjcehoonoejjpjnifgkkgjiec

Classic Retweet v1.12: 
Gives an option to do an "RT" retweet in Twitter, the way God meant Twitter to operate.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mejfljhfeahhhicjefeehikaooffggmf

AmazonSmile 1Button for Chrome v1.1.1: 
Automagically routes Amazon.com clicks to Smile.Amazon.com pages, which then net a small donation from every purchase to a charity of my choice (in my case, clean water projects in the 3rd World).  Given how much I buy from Amazon, they should be soon in danger of drowning over there.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hdgenjhkjihnmigcommchefpajjhdmba

G-calize v1.2.5: 
Let's me easily color the weekend in Google Calendar a different background color, which is UI-convenient (esp. for those who use my machine, since I always put Saturday and Sunday at the end of the week).
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/peconnficnlajdpgfcjfmhjibkoijlbp

Office Editing for Docs, Sheets, and Slides v38.112.1969.658: 
Opens up any MS Office files (well, from Word, Excel or PowerPoint) in Google Drive's viewers, which is convenient since I don't have Office on my home machine.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gbkeegbaiigmenfmjfclcdgdpimamgkj

Magic Actions for YouTube™ v6.7.9.2: 
I use only a couple of functions here, but they're both pretty cool. One lets me create single-frame images from YouTube videos. The other (even more important) helps keep YouTube from auto-firing when started.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/abjcfabbhafbcdfjoecdgepllmpfceif

Todoist: To-Do list and Task Manager v6.3: 
Opens up a Todoist window. If I were a better human being, I would use this more.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jldhpllghnbhlbpcmnajkpdmadaolakh

YoWindow Weather v1.43: 
Used mainly to put a little outside temp reading on the toolbar.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fanogbnclpilemkifpjeglokomebpnef

Create Link v0.2.9: 
I don't use this as often as I used to, but it lets you create a prefab link (link and title, in various formats) for any page you're on. Convenient.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gcmghdmnkfdbncmnmlkkglmnnhagajbm

Google +1 Button v1.3.0.325: 
I don't use it often, but sometimes it's just more convenient to do a G+ entry about a page from the page itself than from within G+.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jgoepmocgafhnchmokaimcmlojpnlkhp

Share Extensions v0.1.1: 
Oh, that's how I created this list.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chdafcbnfkfenoeejpaeenpdamhmalhe

So … any interesting extensions you fine either invaluable or darned convenient?
