I use a couple: uBlock ad remover, ChromeCast, Clack Overhead, Flash Block, Disable HTML5 autoplay.
They all do what it says on the tin!
Haven't written any.

That might be a really good one to get. I loathe sites that autoplay video and sound.
At times I've been on pages and couldn't find the video / sound to make it stop. Terrible.

I've got the uBlock and the Last.fm Scrobbler extensions.
For my web dev needs I've also got Page Ruler, MeasureIt and Window Resizer.
I only have one app installed, Postman (with Interceptor). It's great for doing GET and POST requests.

I was curious if Google had plans like that.
Thanks.
The site is almost malicious though. I clicked my back button to come back here after clicking the link and the site took me to another article. I clicked the back button again and it took me to another page on that site. Crazy.
Here's the same announcement via the Verge.
Google will end support for Chrome apps on Windows, Mac, and Linux - The Verge[^]

Sorry about the dodgy site. It was the first google hit with the terms I used. I always open them in new tabs, and close the tab when done, so I didn't notice it.

Is it two drunk astrologists, or "too drunk astrologist" fighting him/her-self?
Anyway it's uncertain, totally depends on the time and day.

Hello
Of Course you have read many books but which one had been more influence in your programing?
Please tell me the books with field of .net programing or SQL Server or design and architecture.
Thank you

Reading the synopses...
The large clear script, the careful choice of words
Doesn't sound like any code I've ever seen*, but this bit did:

I doubt it will help you very much, but it was this one here.[^] It came with my first computer in 1978 and I still have my old copy and sometimes read a chapter, just for fun.
This little book was so influential because it sent me on the way that always kept me close to the processor and gave me a notorious dislike of everything that tries to hide the processor from me, like interpreters and scripting languages.
Edit: let's not forget the great instruction set of the 1802:
0000 90 CLEAR: GHI 0 .. REGISTER 0 HAS 0001
0001 AE PLO 14 .. MAKE RE=0000
0002 BE PHI 14
0003 EE LOOP: SEX 14 .. EACH TIME, R14 IS -1
0004 73 STXD .. D STILL HAS 00
0005 30 BR LOOP .. GO BACK FOR ANOTHER
0006 03
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

I can't narrow this down to a single book so I'll give a couple:
Clean Code by Robert Martin - great for general ideas of how to code in general to create readable, maintainable, and extensible code.
CLR via C# by Jeffrey Richter - excellent book if you're interested in CLR details and how languages use aspects of it.
Threading in C# by Joseph Albahari and C#6.0 in a Nutshell by Joseph and Ben Albahari - great for general knowledge of C# and threading specifics.
There are definitely more books worth mentioning. I plan to get around to reading Code Complete by Steven McConnell soon. For me one of the best resources to further my knowledge has been the internet - specifically MSDN. There is a wealth of knowledge to absorb - just don't take everything at face value and do your due diligence with research
I never really had a single book that influenced me. The idea of programming and the challenges involved are what really influenced me.

The trouble with that book is that people buy it and don't read it ... so they ask for instructions in QA.

FTFY Seriously though, it's pretty bad when SO copy-paste in production code is even a meme. That means it happens way too often

I have, very occasionally, been running a series called Pete's Book Of The Whatever (PBOTW) where I give a brief view on books that I have found interesting, informative, influential or challenging. Every time I post, I update this blog entry[^] with details and a link back to the original PBOTW.
