Before we jump into Ideas, I want to feature Henry Lim who found an idea on Twitter and turned it into an extension in less than 5 hours.

Idea #1

A chrome extension that makes sounds according to activity happening on the website

Remember the soothing sound of a hard drive spinning, letting you know the computer's working? Imagine: a browser extension that makes that sound, adjusted for activity happening on website. Visit Wikipedia & hear the edits per minute, Twitter & tweets, HN & comments/votes

Idea #2

A chrome extension that avoids duplicate downloads

Idea : A browser feature / plugin that retains a registry of MD5 sums of downloaded files to their download locations. When you (I) attempt to download the *same* file for the 50th time it notifies you / saves you the trouble.

You can add another feature where the extension helps you find the existing file in your downloads.
