For ASCII-art fans, the chains are arranged like so: (Note: this is a very different arrangement from the 2.0 and 2.2 kernels!) _____ Incoming / \ Outgoing -->[Routing ]--->|FORWARD|-------> [Decision] \_____/ ^ | | v ____ ___ / \ / \ |OUTPUT| |INPUT| \____/ \___/ ^ | | ----> Local Process ---- The three circles represent the three chains mentioned above. When a packet reaches a circle in the diagram, that chain is examined to decide the fate of the packet. If the chain says to DROP the packet, it is killed there, but if the chain says to ACCEPT the packet, it continues traversing the diagram.

Autocopy - The name pretty much says it all. Instead of having to hit cmd+c (or ctrl + C for our Windows readers), every time you highlight text it automatically copies it to the clipboard. If you don’t want it on 100% of the time, you can toggle it on and off in the bottom-right of the browser.

Scrapbook - Much like the Read it Later extension, Scrapbook allows you to quickly save pages for later reading. However, it has a few more great features, like taking whole snippets of pages (like Google Notebook), searching within snippets, saving whole websites, and you can even organize the snippets like bookmarks. Perfect for researching or in-depth bookmarking.

Copy Plain Text- The name pretty much says it all. If you do a lot of writing in WYSIWYG editors (blogging and other word processors), then this extension can come in pretty handy.

perhaps Kendrick's most significant software achievement is Tux Paint, a highly acclaimed, free and open source illustration program that is primarily aimed at kids, but is used by all ages courtesy of its intuitive and effortless design.

My dream in life is to work on Tux Paint, and other "edutainment" apps I've dreamed up, full-time, salaried and hire some contributors to work full-time, too.
