The Sweet Stuff: Software

. However, if you gave the browser a miss for being too bare bones, time to look again. Chrome supports a range of

Chrome themes.

Perhaps more important, it has support for

Chrome extensions

that give the browser more functionality. Doc picks

top 10 extensions for Chrome

and shares them over the next two weeks.

Very funny Max. The only thing you forgot is that your picture is next to your post. hahahaha; And I don't have Safari installed, but you got the others right. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery so I'm flattered. No more posting as me though! .... Doc

Always my pleasure. I've switched to Google Chrome as my default browser. I still have Firefox, Safari, IE, and Opera installed as well but Chrome is the one I like the best, especially since it now has extensions. ....Doc

Thanks for this, Doc! Session Manager is exactly what I've been looking for. I'm making the switch!
