Send with GMail by Default using this Chrome Extension

by Donovan Leiber on July 26th, 2011

I don’t know why it infurates me so much, but there is nothing that makes me more mad than clicking on a link that then opens up Microsoft Exchange to send an E-Mail. I use G-Mail and if I wanted to actually E-Mail someone (which often I don’t when unsuspectingly clicking a mail:to link) I [...]

Block Ads In Chrome with Adblock Plus

by Donovan Leiber on July 19th, 2011

Do you hate the annoying flash ads that ask you to complete some stupid arcade task to win a free prize? So do I. Not only do I hate those ads but I hate a lot more ads than you can imagine. The “Obey” ads? Annoying. The “One Weird Tip to XYZ”? Go away. At [...]
