Shortcut To All Hidden 'about:' And 'chrome://' Pages.

Most of us already knows that there are several hidden pages in Google Chrome. These hidden pages can be accessed by typing "about:" on the address bar. To make it easier, there is a Chrome extension that can provide you quick links on these pages and as a bonus it also provide links to "chrome://" pages (i.e. Extensions, Downloads, Bookmarks and History). After installation, an icon will be visible beside the chrome address bar as shown below.

The full links that this extension supports are:
'about:net-internals' gives an overview of network status and usage.
'about:memory' gives an overview of chrome memory usage, by tab and in total. It will also give data for other browsers if they are open.
'about:dns' lists stored dns data.
'about:plugin' lists all the plugins that chrome is using (such as Flash or QuickTime).
'about:cache' gives all the items in the browser cache.
