These Chrome Extensions for Google+ are really good. But adding too many extensions can slow down your Chrome Performance. You must have installed couple of chrome extensions in the past. If you are not using them, you can disable them by navigating to chrome menu → tools → extensions and uncheck ‘Enabled’ next to the installed extension or you can use the Extension Manager as explained in number 8 for a quick solution.
