I am the author of the Firefox extension. I have recently rewritten it for Chrome and the new Webextension API of Firefox.
See more info on the extension homepage:

The direct link from the Google Chrome store is this:

There is a new HTML validator available for Chrome. It uses a JavaScript port of LibTidy and thus validates locally without the need of remote services.
See https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/anjdemaoejlpgmnmkijdemoiebcddhkc
This is the best one I found so far:
https://github.com/rogerjohansson/html5validator (see Downloads for an xpi)
You should not use the validator.nu online service with it, since it causes a DoS attack on the online service, and you will probably be banned from using the service as a countermeasure (see https://github.com/rogerjohansson/html5validator/issues/6). The cool thing is, it does not send the URL to the validator, but the HTML data directly; this means that local sites or password-protected sites can also be checked.
Validation can be turned on automatically, by a domain-whitelist or by clicking the validator item.
You can and should up your own validator.nu-instance (at least on Linux and Mac OS X) - see this. You would then have a locally-running validator and can even check sites without an Internet connection by filling in http://localhost:8888/ (the default address of the local validator instance) into the Validator URL of the addon.
To give credits: I have the information above from Validating HTML5 with validator.nu and the HTML5Validator Extension for Firefox.
On the Web Developer add-on, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60, if you use "Tools" > "Display Page Validation" it will show a bar at the top validating the page source code. This is done via the W3C validator, but without you having to navigate there.
It is a shame the HTML Validator has no plans as of yet to incorporate HTML5 until at least version 0.9.
