Summary

Analyze keywords

UbiChr is "Ubiquity for Chrome" - a revived command line interface that brings lots of useful command shortcuts.

In particular, you can:

Open a command-like window to execute commands with arguments and preview the results (default Ctrl+Space shortcut must be set manually)
Open new tabs and pass GET or POST parameters (on appropriate command execution like Wikipedia search, dictionary lookup, text translation, etc.)
Fetch data via AJAX, process it, and display it on the extension popup preview (for example: IMDB movie lookup, currency converter)
Alter current pages (highlight keywords, invert or remove colors)
Add your custom JavaScript commands via a built-in editor in a syntax similar to the original Ubiquity project
Utilize powerful features of the Chrome extension (inject scripts, access cookies, use alarms, bulk save and zip URLs, filter opened tabs for text or links, ...)
Share your commands via GitHub Gist

NOTICE: The Ctrl+Space shortcut may need to be manually reassigned in the Chrome add-on management dashboard in order to be used. To do that, use the chrome://extensions/shortcuts URL.

Brings the greatest extension from FireFox (that Mozilla no longer allows) and puts it on a modern browser. Great! Ubiquity basically gives users powerful command line access to the internet. Lovely. Allows creation of custom commands, as well.
