Antonio Bustamante · Answer

I use their Chrome extension to save articles/posts/papers I really like and want to come back later, or want to archive for future reference. Just quick, and it just works.

Answer

Blocks unwanted elements.

Antonio Bustamante · Answer

This one is to take full screenshots of webpages. It's a pretty specific product, but if you're iterating on a product page and need to take quick screenshots, it's useful. The UI is very 2003, but it works great.

Riyadh Al Nur · Answer

Very handy esp. when you have tabs you want to come back to but don't want to leave Chrome open (it's still not easy on the memory)

I really like this extension because 'New Tabs' are beautiful. It also let's you set 1 to-do item at a time, that you are subtly reminded of every time you open a new tab.

One of the best account authenticators ive seen. really fast and secure. Keeps your passwords away from the cloud and encrypted. Many options.

Answer

I've been primarily using Chromebooks for over 4 years, so I'm highly dependent on Chrome. My top pet peeves has been keeping tabs open to come back to them later, knowing that they're slowing down my computer.

I've used other extensions to kill memory, but those have a grittier experience. Usually I'd just manually copy and paste links into an email to come back to them later. This one's the simplest solution. I save a bunch of tabs and come back to it later, taking them out of my computer's memory.

Elijah Murray · Answer

Saves me so much time.

Guillaume Bardet · Answer

I will go ahead and shamelessly mention the bookmarks and tabs manager I have been working on. :)

A must-have extension for all browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge) that allows you to translate unknown words and texts directly on pages. Just select any text fragment, press a shortcut and voila! You see a translation in an unobtrusive window right on that page. Never be lost in translation again!

Answer

I've used this for a long time, in conjunction with Adblock Plus, and find it helpful in speed and performance. But disclaimer: unlike Adblock, this extension more frequently conflicts with websites. Since it blocks more content, sometimes it prevents key features from loading. In other words, many websites will not work properly.

That just means you have to disable the extension for certain sites, but it's more work than Adblock to do so. I find it's worthwhile to do, but it isn't a set-it-and-forget-it tool.

Amy Lockwood · Answer

Install HTML email signatures with no character limit in Office 365, Google Inbox, Outlook.com, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL Mail.

Paste your own HTML email signatures directly into the app or if you are an Email Signature Rescue member, update HTML email signatures direct in the extension via API.

Grab your API key from your Email Signature Rescue Dashboard or from the email sent to you and paste it into the extension.

See a live preview of your email signature and apply it to different online email clients. Add multiple email signatures and restrict signatures to only work with particular email addresses and replies or forwards.

Works with Gmail, G Suite, Google Inbox, Office 365, Outlook.com, AOL Mail and Yahoo Mail.

Florent Merian · Answer

I like how this Chrome extension, built by the maker of Inbox, helps you focus on Gmail with its simplified user interface. This is definitely a must-have extension.

For pure productivity on my browser, I use tabby. It's an AI-based tab manager that automates all the tedious tasks I do with my tabs (clicking, grouping, removing, etc.). It removes the tabs I don't need, and it does that IN THE BACKGROUND. Isn't it amazing? No setup required, I don't need to worry about anything, it takes care of my tabs for me - while keeping my data safe - and I don't see it working...

Valerie Fenske · Answer

this one saves my nerves!!!

Dionis Loire · Answer

This extension is great for quickly logging and fixing UI bugs on any site!

Answer

I just recently use it, and I concluded that this extension is probably the only tab management extensions I will ever use (lmao).  I like the idea of organized tabs but hate nesting it; the extension is ONE tab; click once and BOOM  that's all your tabs **FUSIONS** into one tab — all in all, it's excellent.
