Privacy Manager is a Chrome extension which allows quickly tweak your privacy settings. In a small window you can quickly setup the basic, but also more advanced options. You can control the downloads, cleaning startup options, delete junk files, manage cookies and network traffic. All this in very cool manner – from a small pop-up window.
Chrome settings are otherwise burried down in the settings page, in an advanced section. And when you're at the settings page, you usually have to scroll down quite a bit. This extension handles is quicker, because the options are present as small switches which needs to be turned On or Off.
