Docs/PDF Reader Extensions For Google Chrome

Google Chrome since its incarnation has been a very rapidly evolving browser. But it seems to  miss out some cool and basic features that can make it an outstanding browser. One seriously missing feature is the integration of Google Docs which could have easily made life easier handling PDF docs.

However Google Chrome Extensions makes it possible! gPDF and Docs PDF/PowerPoint Viewer are two usable extensions that I have came across.  gPDF scans your webpage for PDF links and sets them to open up with Google Docs Viewer while Docs PDF can easily open any PDF, PowerPoint.

You could think of it as the switchboard of the Internet, converting easy-to-remember domain names – e.g., www.google.com – into the unique Internet Protocol (IP) numbers – e.g., 74.125.45.100 – that computers use to communicate with one another.

Google Chrome is one of the best browsers that is available today on the internet. But there are concerns over the privacy protection as there is frequent data transmission between the browser and the Google servers.
