Here are 5 of the good extensions that I’ve found, using Google chrome:

1. ABV Mail Notifier (Уведомител за АБВ)

ABC Notifier for Chrome is a browser extension for Google Chrome, that checks for unread messages and displays their number on an icon in your browser.
That way you are aware of what is happening in your ABC Mail.
The extension is for http://www.abv.bg/ – The biggest mail in Bulgaria.
You have to enter your username and password. You can do this by right clicking at the icon and selecting Options:


You can set the check interval and you can also exclude some of the folders:

With this plugin you can fake the headers sent to the web pages. The pages will think that your browser is internet explorer.
When you click on the icon, the page is opened in IETab. This way you can open some pages that require internet explorer only.
An example is the Microsoft Project Server:

However the javascript engine behind is still the chrome one. It also has an options page. You can set some pages to be opened with IETab by default:
