More must-have Google Chrome extensions
My browser of choice is Google Chrome. I use it because it's a solid, reliable browser that I can take with me onto whatever platform I'm using. I also like extensions. Back when I was a Firefox fan I wasn't a big extensions user, but with Chrome this has changed.
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols offered his list of must-have extensions for Google Chrome last week. Here's mine.

Disconnect Search
Disconnect Search is a service that uses a specialized VPN to allow you to search privately using your favorite search engine. The reason to use this is that they claim they don’t log searches, IP addresses, or any other personal info.
Disconnected Search is available as an extension and a web service.
