Get Notifications For Updated Chrome Extensions

Google Chrome browser auto-updates whenever new versions become available, and so are the extensions that you may have installed. Unlike other browsers, that offer you the choice between auto-update and manual update, Google forces the updates upon its users to minimize risk of using out-of-date and possibly vulnerable versions of their software (there is a way to override this, if you are interested).

When the core files of the browser updates a small indicator appears at the position of the wrench icon in the toolbar. It serves to alert the user that the update has been completed and the user should restart the browser so that the updated files could load. But there is no such alerts for updated extensions.

This can be easily fixed with the Update Notifier extension. This extension brings notifications of updated Chrome extensions.

The notification window displays the old version number, the new version number, link to the extension’s homepage, link to the options page if exists and link to launch the application.

And of course, Update Notifier auto-updates itself.

How to Record CPU and Memory Usage Over Time in Windows?

Whenever the computer is lagging or some application is taking too long to respond, we usually fire up task manager and look under the Performance tab or under Processes to check on processor utilization or the amount of free memory available. The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph. You get a small time-window, about 30 seconds or so, depending on how large the viewing area is.
