The Chrome Extension Gallery push is on, and we're finally starting to see some solid add-on options cropping up for Google's web browser.
If you're the type who eschews the mouse or trackpad in favor of keyboard-fu, you owe it to yourself to check out the Vimlike Smoozie [translated] extension.
It's similar to Vimperator for Firefox in that it adds a number of keystroke-driven controls to Chrome. One I find particularly useful is F, which scours a page for links and numbers them all. Punch in the number, and Chrome opens the appropriate link.
Other controls include zooming, scrolling, first text box focus, and closed tab restore - which unfortunately doesn't yet restore history as a right-click reopen does.
On my netbook's cramped trackpad, Smoozie is worth installing just for the link-fu. Don't forget to check our list of other great Chrome extensions!
