3. Salesforce Developer Tool Suite by concret.io.
Does it takes a lot to view debug logs i.e. via setup area or dev console. This extension is an attempt to make this use case simple, by making debug logs visible in 2 clicks, without leaving the current Salesforce tab. Plus, you get a better hierarchical view of debug logs, which are better to analyse.
I have lots of expectation from this extension as this is the one of extension which takes feedback actively (You can find discussion tab just inside app) and frequently releases new capabilities. More features, like Execute Anonymous, Code Coverage, Test Cases are in pipe, will be released soon.

5. Force.com Logins
Over the time , as a Salesforce admin or developer you might have already faced memorizing username and password.

This tool solves this issue. You can save username, password and description of all Salesforce instances at same place and import, export setting on multiple machines if needed.
Concern : Before suggesting this app, I would like to inform you that if someone has access to your browser then your username and password could be easily stolen. So, be careful before using this. You can install it from here.

There are Idea on Idea Exchange with hundreds of vote to support more than 3 columns in Dashboard. Till this is not delivered by Salesforce, this extension will save your day with option to refresh Dashboard automatically on predefined interval like 1 min or so, typically Salesforce allows automated Dashboard Daily, Weekly or Monthly. Only problem I see with this plugin is delay to rearrange dashboard and once refresh is complete, it tries to adjust again, but considering many benefits I don’t see any reason not to give it a shot.
