Must have Chrome Extensions for Google+

Here are the Chrome extensions that I find most useful for enhancing Google+. Most of them just add or fix little things that make it nicer / easier to use google+. If i missed one that you really like, let me know in the comments. Also if you dont yet have a G+ account feel free to leave a comment and ill invite you.




First up is +comment toggle. It does what it says and not much more. This little add-on lets you expand / collapse comments via a little toggle button. This is particularly good on posts with hundreds of comments where you would have had to scroll up through all of them to get back to the top. With this you can just hit the toggle button, from the top or bottom of the post, and the comments will be hidden. The button itself blends in quite well:

Next up we have G+ Count in title which also does exactly what its name states. This puts the notification count in the title of your Google+ tab:

Replies and more for Google+ add a couple of nice things. The first is a notification indicator that is added to the Google+ favicon:


This extension also adds the ability to quickly share a post via twitter or facebook and also has a nice "reply to author" button that when clicked automatically adds "+authors-name" to your reply so you can better get their attention if there are a lot of comments.

+Photo zoom is a really cool extension just like FB photo zoom for facebook which I already use and love. When you hover over an image if shows the full sized image next to it. This is good for those times you cant quite tell what someone is doing in a picture and you dont want to leave your feed.

Last but by far not least we have Beautify G+. This extension lets you customize how different parts of google+ behave when you scroll down the page. I personally made everything stay where it was at the top and only the feed moves. This also has an option for sound notifications and a notification indicator in the tab title. Note when you first install this extension nothing is enabled. You must go to the wrench icon --> tools --> extensions then click "options" beneath this extension. Also if the save button doesn't show up at the top click "reset" then go back to the options page and refresh it (this worked for me).

There are a couple of extensions all adding the notification indicator so you may be wondering why i added all of them to this list. Its because two of them come bundled with other features but some people might just want the indicator.
