The Chrome browser from Google is among the most widely used web browsers. This browser is used by millions of people every day, all over the world.
Chrome is a fantastic browser — it’s quick, well-designed, and jam-packed with useful features – but that’s only the beginning. Chrome’s strongest point is its vast library of add-ons, which provide it with a never-ending supply of new features and capabilities.
In fact, the Chrome Web Store has so many extensions that it’s difficult to determine which ones will actually improve your surfing experience.
Best Chrome Extensions
Here is a list of the top seven useful Chrome extensions available:
-
LastPass
LastPass solves the problem by generating a unique, strong password for each website, saving it locally in a secured vault, and filling out web forms and logins as needed. LastPass only requires you to remember one master password and takes care of practically everything else. Simply install the extension, and it will prompt you to save your online account anytime you log in.
-
FoxClocks
FoxClocks is a simple concept implemented well. It displays the current time in several countries at the bottom of the browser, saving the time and effort of searching for the same info on Google. Users can add a timezone or a city to Chrome’s status bar.
-
The Great Suspender
The Great Suspender solves the issue by suspending tabs that aren’t being used right now. You can safelist websites and URLs that you don’t want to be suspended, such as your email provider. You can also prevent tabs that are now playing media or showing forms from being suspended so that you don’t lose any information you’ve submitted from being deleted. This extension could be a game-changer if you don’t want to ditch Chrome but are tired of its RAM-hogging habits.
-
Pushbullet
Pushbullet integrates all your chat apps, including WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and even SMS texts, into your browser. If you have an Android phone, you’ll get notifications when you get texts and calls, and discarding them on your Computer will erase them from your handset as well.
-
Nimbus
Nimbus is the ideal answer for anyone who spends a lot of time on the internet, studying, and acquiring data. You can use this application to take screenshots and screencasts, as well as video and webcam clips. Nimbus also connects with several popular applications, including Google Drive, YouTube Premium, Dropbox, and Google Classroom, allowing you to upload and share your results instantly.
-
StayFocusd
StayFocusd is the application for you if you lack the willpower to stay away from social networking websites like YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, and other time-consuming websites on your own. This plugin will help you stay away from internet distractions by limiting the amount of time you can spend on them.
-
Vimium
Vimium is a Chrome add-on that allows you to navigate the web using only your keyboard. To scroll down and up your Chrome page, use the keys “J” and “K.” You can also press “Shift+F” to signal that you want to follow a link, and Vimium will display you all the links on that page that you can click, as well as the letters you need to type to open them in new tabs.
