So until Firefox gets it shit together I'm going to be using Chrome.
So experienced Chrome users what should I know and what extensions should I be using?
Also is there a way to get the bookmarks like Firefox (And every other browser - on the side), not that damn toolbar.

Is there anything like HTTPS Everywhere for Chrome?

Chrome sucks with customization.

Google Dictionary. Double click any word to get a definition on screen. Very useful.

To be honest most of the great extensions are listed on the main page or not far away from it

I use the Turn Off the Lights extension. While watching videos, this ext. dims the background.

Adblock Plus
IETab
XML Viewer
Ctrl Shift O => Bookmark manager
Ctrl Shift B => Bookmark toolbar
chrome://chrome-urls/ to access advanced settings
Chrome's javascript processing is the fastest
Chrome is good with javascript and canvas animation
Load pages fast and has prefetching.
Simplicity over flexibility
