For anyone that uses Chrome and Transmission, this is a must-have.įor those that use a distribution taking advantage of the power of Debian’s APT, this Chrome extension is a must. This extension allows the simple downloading of torrents with Transmission (including right-click to download with Transmission), managing torrents on a remote server, browser icon pop-up for viewing and managing torrents, desktop notification when torrent completes, quick toggling of Turtle Mode (speed limiting), and much more. Of course not everyone has a T1 or cable connection getting speeds enough to download an ISO image of a distribution in five minutes or less.įor those, bit torrent is necessary and having a Chrome extension like Remote Transmission is handy. Why? To many, using Linux is almost synonymous for downloading ISO images. Linux users are famous for using bit torrent clients and/or servers. The results will reveal plenty of relevant information to the package - such as location, description, and maintainer. From within the extension it is possible to filter by repository, category, name, or name/description. When the search is complete, the results are then displayed within a new tab. This extension searches the Arch Package Database, the ArchWiki, and AUR for packages available to the distribution. Set up a list of proxies in the configuration and then select which proxy is necessary for a particular network or location.įor those using Arch Linux, the Arch Linux Package Search extension might well be just the ticket for quick and easy package searching. With Proxy Switchy! this task is made incredibly simple.

Thing is, when you’re mobile, you don’t want to have to go through the process of having to manually switch proxies through the configurations. Seeing as how many mobile Linux users tend to be more savvy than the average user, it only makes sense that a good portion of these users will require (or at least need) the use of proxies. Proxy Switchy! is an advanced proxy manager for the Chrome browser. So, without further ado, let’s get on with the list. So, I took the time to dig through the piles to find what I thought to be the best collection of available Chrome extensions for Linux users. Problem is, with so many extensions available, it’s hard to know which ones are of the most interest to certain user groups. And like all good browsers, Chrome offers thousands upon thousands of extensions that can be added to expand the functionality and fun of the browsing experience. Google Chrome is not only the fastest loading and rendering browser available, it’s also grabbing market share the fastest.
