We featured a post on ' Three Must have Firefox Add-ons for Ubuntu Users ' some time back. I wanted to do a similar post for Chrome/Chromium but could not find many extensions specifically made for Ubuntu users. So I decided to share these two extensions available as of now.

The extension allows you to search Ubuntu Packages from the browser itself. Features a simple popup menu with many fields.





Search Field: Package names, Description, Source Names and Contents

Section: All, Main, Multiverse, Universe, Restricted

Suits: Dapper, Hardy, Jaunty, Karmic, Lucid, Maverick

Arch: i386, amd64 and powerpc





You can also save your favorite options so that you do not have select them every time.





Download from here





Apt-linker





This extension turns lines of text describing commands for installation into clickable apturl links that allow you to install the packages with just 2 clicks. Apturls are a way to install packages by using a protocol handler to read the list of packages to install.





In simple terms, it turns "apt-get install" lines into clickable apturl links.





You can download the extension from here





Install the extension and test it on the following command:





sudo apt-get install banshee
