uBlock Origin (best ad blocker) - Mate Translate - Grammarly - ScreenCastify (Simple screen recording) - Automatio (No-code web scraper) - Alexa Traffic Rank - Mercury reader (boils out and remove all the unnecessary shit from the web page, to leaves you with a clean readable page) - Imgur screenshot uploader - Dark Reader (convert pages to dark mode) -
Ok, lets say you can have just one of these, which one would you choose?
I wrote long response with explanation, but not sure why PH not letting me to post.
No prob, just post several comments. I'll read them :)
hey, since PH have some bug with a huge responses, I decided to craft quickly Twitter thread. Scroll down and you fill find my answer
This is a great list Stefan. I noticed Automatio as well. Will check out, used instant scraper and webscraper but not fully satisfied.
Loom for recording quick videos to send to my clients and to my team. I also sometimes use it for making YouTube videos.
This is the only extension that is required IMO
Screencastify to make screenshots and screen recordings, and save them in the cloud, and get easily a link to share with the team.
Didn't know about this one. Thanks!
is the quality as good as QuickTime or is this more an analytics tool?
* - key for staying organized, saving things for later, and not bringing my computer to a halt with 100 tabs open * - do yourself a favor and protect your information (pro tip: use the autogenerated passwords for security questions too) * - really helpful when reviewing designs (be careful, sometimes it combines pixels from a border into the length) * - sometimes a video is just way easier for communication to the rest of the team * - I always have something to read on the go
๐Ÿšซ Ublock Origin: blocks ads โ€” ๐Ÿ–Œ InTab: the fastest way to edit/inspect any website CSS โ€” ๐Ÿ“ƒ Grammarly: fixes your typos โ€” ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ Ghostery: blocks trackers โ€” ๐Ÿ’พ OneTab: save all open tabs to use them later โ€” ๐Ÿ“ท Momentum: customize your new tab page โ€”
I wonder isn't Ghostery in addition to uBlock somewhat redundant? ๐Ÿค”
I have tested this and it seems they have different blocking lists/mechanisms so you need both to account for nearly all analytics/ads/tracking widgets...
Adblock plus, full page screen capture, Notion web clipper and Pushbullet
I find Adblock to be little ethical. The deal is: you get free contents, in exchange you have to see some ads.
yes Pushbullet is amazing!!
Haven't seen an ad in years with Adblock
I had used pushbullet in past but uninstalled it. Found it little clunky and there was a lag. Is it better now?
Loom, Zapier, and Grammarly
uh, Grammarly! I was planning to try it. Do you think is a really well made product?
it's pretty cool and simple! Corrects my grammar and I always enjoy learning what's the tone of my writing (formal/ informal, appreciative, confident, etc.)
I'll try it, thanks!
Just discovered GoFullPage - screenshot of the entire vertical page (not just whats visible on screen). Super useful for design, product folks.
it is super useful, I'm with you on that one!!
Awesome Screenshot
Basically every part of my online work is somehow supported by some Chrome Extension. I just love them! Some great examples are Grammarly, Loom for Chrome, Streak (Gmail CRM), Adblock, Video Speed Controller, and Wordtune. Chrome extensions literally make my work life easier. That's also the reason my team at Amy had no doubt about adding a chrome extension as a main feature of our meeting preparation product - in hope it will make another part of people's work much easier!
