DblClickDial Extension – Makes Your NewTab A Blank Page
A member at our forum called ‘foosy’, developed a basic but quite an interesting plugin for Google Chrome earlier called the DblClickDial (read as double click dial). As you guys know that one of the path-breaking features of Google Chrome Browser is the Thumbnail History of the most visited sites , which shows up when you launch Google Chrome or when you open a New Tab by pressing Ctrl+t.
Though this feature is very useful as one can quickly go to the website which he frequents often thus saving time, but there are certain occasions where one does not want other’s to see what sites are you visiting often. This is where the DblClickDial Plugin will have a role.
DblClickDial Plugin Features:
* Replace The New Tab on Chrome from Thumbnail History of most visited sites to a Blank Page.
* Ability to Hide/Show the Thumbnail History by just double clicking anywhere on the Blank Page.
* Faster response time when opening a new tab.
Installation And Support:
DblClickDial gives you the flexibility of having the newtab pages blank by default, and upon dblclick- view your history.
Need to hide it again- just double-click anywhere on the page.

Top 10 most wanted Google Chrome plugins
TOP 10 MOST WANTED GOOGLE CHROME PLUGINS
1. Social networking plug ins: Number one is with no doubt the daily use plugins of various social networks. Users would like to see plugins for: del.icio.us, Digg, StumbleUpon and other favorite social networks.
2. GMail plugin: Some thought it supposed to be integrated into Chrome by default, but let’s not forget that Google Chrome is for everyone and company’s policy is don’t be evil. Nether less as one can imagine the early adopters of Chrome are familiar with Google products and want them integrated.
3. Block the ads plugin: Advertising can get annoying, and we want to get rid of it! The question is how will Chrome react to that, after all AdSense by Google is their main revenue.
4. Mouse gestures: Apparently many fellows are addicted to this Firefox plugin that allows you to execute common commands (like page forward/backward, close tab, new tab) by mouse gestures drawn over the current webpage, without reaching for the toolbar or the keyboard…
5. Firebug analog: Developers are unanimously asking for a Firebug analog for Google Chrome, a plugin that lets you edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.
6. Noscript: security is an issue and many expressed the desire to get this plugin that allows you to run active content only from sites you trust, and protect yourself against XSS attacks.
7. Bookmarks manager: Chrome bookmarks are just not good enough when you’re used to something better like Foxmarks. Many think a decent bookmarks manager is a must.
8. Media rippers: That will allow you to extract media from web-pages. One of the primary targets for others are various video download managers for embedded content like flash, video and music files.
