google chrome extensions Translate, Bookmark, Share in Google Chrome Without Chrome Extensions/Addons Google chrome extensions are now functional but it's availability is limited. However, the past Google chrome addons (also read as Google chrome bookmarklets) are pretty much helpful and can be used on any internet browser.

Similarly, today I'll be sharing one tool that will help you to tweet, Bookmark, Share (similar to Shareaholic extension of Google Chrome) and translate webpages on Google chrome or Opera browser without installing any tool or extensions.

This useful online service is called usekit which provides an toolbar for completing tasks such as tweeting, bookmarking and translating webpages for free.

How to use Usekit on Google Chrome

First step is to register at usekit, I know this might sound like a lengthier process but it's not. The signup and verification will hardly take a minute or two. Once you are done with the registration process, login to your usekit account as shown in the screenshot.

That's it. Carry on with your browsing habits and whenever you feel like tweeting the webpage, bookmarking it or translating pages into your own language then click the usekit button that you've bookmarked, a toolbar in the botton appears where you can also make sticky notes, mark the webpage or bookmark on delicious!

Blocking websites – If you observe closely, you can find an example in host file showing on how to block websites. So, consider an example that you want to block Myspace from school or orkut from office then these lines should be added to the host file

    The value 127.0.0.1 remains the same as it is your local machine's IP address. Make sure you include the alternative urls to block the websites (Myspace.com and http://www.myspace.com to block Myspace). Save the file and close it!
