The one that removes the stupid forum list from the left hand side of the page.

You need to put the whole thing (weird folder name and all) into

C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions

I actually found it easier to just do a search for Extensions. It led me right where I needed to be.
After copying the odd named folder in with all the others, open Chrome and manage extensions, make sure Improved Anandtech is on.

If this doesnt work for you then someone with some know how may need to send it to Google for consideration of being hosted again, which I dont know if they will do or not.

I have not been able to get in touch with Mike Gaynor or GodlessAstronomer.
 
There are lots of extensions for the forums at the link in my sig. 🙂

Although Chrome now blocks installing extensions outside the Chrome store, you can turn that off.
 
Forum Preview is chrome extension for vBulletin, phpbb and few other forum sites.
It will show Last Post under thread titles. From its Settings you can enable auto-check-new-posts. It can generate photo gallery from forum thread. Might take some time to get used to it though.
It should work fine alongside some of the other scripts.

The YouTube video shows it working on Advrider forum which is similar to AnandTech forum.

<-- See if my Avatar looks different after you have installed it in Chrome.

You can always go to chrome://extensions and disable or enable it as needed.
