4. Ultimate Status Bar
With this status bar extension it will reveal what links are trying to hide from you, for example the destination, file types, the size of these files and the possibility of having Rick Astley pop up when you click the link. The extension embiggens shortened URL’s which is very useful for people who are wary of shortened URL’s as when the URL is shorted it doesn’t give any hint into what really lies beyond that link, whether its a page you don’t want to visit or just a screamer sent to you from a friend. Both of which are extremely annoying, so with this extension you can eliminate that problem. And when you don’t want to use the extension, it will hide discreetly out of sight, you can even customise your Ultimate Status Bar to look whatever way you want.
5. Turn Off the Lights
The Turn Off the Lights extension does everything it says, it turns off the lights when you most want them too. For example it will dim the lights around a YouTube video you’re watching, because too be honest, when you’re room isn’t very well lit the bright white YouTube background can be quite blinding, especially if you’ve just woken up. But with this extension that problem is eliminated, so you can now watch your favorite video without any distractions or having the sensation of your eyes burning as you sit there.
