Here are my picks for the Top Ten Best Chrome Extensions.
1. Google Mail Checker
Displays the number of unread messages in your Google Mail inbox. You can also click the button to open your inbox.
2.YouTube HTML5-ifier
This extensions contains a simple content script which replaces the standard Flash-based YouTube video player with HTML5's new video tag which natively supports video. Video played this way will be more efficient and require less CPU.
An attempt is made to automatically play the best format possible (HD if available). This version may not be able to play all YouTube videos properly. It will not have any affect on videos embedded on other sites.

3.IE Tab
Use Internet Explorer to display web pages in a Chrome tab. Some sites can only be displayed using IE, and with this extension you can now see those sites without leaving Chrome. Great for web developers who want to test the IE rendering engine, users who use sites with ActiveX controls, and users who want to use the explorer view for local files (i.e. file:// URLs).

4.DotSpots
