Hey guys, it's Alex here from Alextoobycom. And welcome back to my YouTube channel. If
you're anything like me, you're probably on your computer. Most of the day have anywhere from 10 to
20 tabs open in your browser and are constantly working on multiple projects at the same time.
If you can relate them, this video is for you because I'm going to share all the amazing Chrome
extensions I use to help organize my processes, save time, spy on my competitors and more so if
you haven't already hit the subscribe button below and let's get started. So the first extension I
can't live without is called one tab and it solves that first problem that I mentioned, which is
having way too many tabs open at the same time. So one tab actually allows you to consolidate all
the tabs. You have open into a singular page. It displays them in a vertical list. And I find it
so much easier for me to actually utilize all the tabs I have open or at least know what they are.
And it also speeds up my computer by not having too many things running at the same time.
The next Chrome extension that I use regularly is the focus to do Pomodoro timer. So if you haven't
heard of a Pomodoro timer before, basically it encourages you to work on projects in 25 minute
increments. So the idea is that if you spend 25 minutes working on one singular task, you're more
likely to finish multiple tasks throughout the day than if you're just clicking around and kind of
doing a few minutes here, a few minutes there. So this Chrome extension allows you to create a list
of all the projects that you want to work on. And from there, you can start the Pomodoro for
each individual project. And when that 25 minutes is up, it'll encourage you to take a five minute
break or you can continue working. And it'll actually track how many 25 minute increments
it took for you to finish a project. So in the future, you know that when it comes to writing
a blog post, it typically takes you 50 minutes. So that's super helpful for, you know, yourself
and maybe your employees. If you have them use this type of tool. So you can really track how
long it takes to get done. Next is one that since I've started using, I simply cannot live without,
and that is the video speed controller. So you know how on YouTube, you can choose to watch
videos at 1.2, five or 1.5 or whatever speed that you like. Well, this Chrome extension allows you
to do that to any video on the internet. So whether it's a video from an online course
or a video you're watching on Netflix, you can increase the speed to whatever
speed you desire and really consume content a lot quicker. Ever since I started using this, watching
something at one time, speed is really painful. So this is definitely one of my favorites.
Next is key words everywhere. Now I've talked about this tool before in this video, but it is
a game changer for conducting keyword research, which is super important for your website, SEO
and your content creation here on YouTube. This Chrome extension shows you exactly how
many people are searching for a specific keyword or a string of words per month, which allows you
to determine if that keyword is worth targeting with your content. Now, if done right, your
content is going to rank in Google or on YouTube because you focused on that keyword and you're
going to get a ton more traffic and views. So again, I do have a video that explains this
tool and how to use it in detail up here and in the description box below. So go ahead and check
that out. Next is duck duck go, and this is an alternative to Google. So as you may or may not
know Google tracks, basically every single thing that you do and retargets you with advertisements
and potentially spying on your actions, and maybe even the things that you say when you
use their browser. Now I'm not going to get too deep into the conspiracy theory, but duck, duck
go is an alternative that allows you to search without being tracked and without your history
being logged to your IP address. So even if you're not looking up anything weird on the internet, it
is important to protect your privacy. And I think this is a really easy Chrome extension to add.
So that's all I'm going to say about that. I really likr this tool, Its definitely worth it,
In my opinion. The next is go full page. And this is an incredible tool for capturing
anything on the internet that you want to keep for inspiration or just to have on hand.
So what this allows you to do is basically take a screenshot of an entire webpage, no matter how
long it is, and it saves it into one single PDF. Typically if you were to take a screenshot, it's
just going to grab whatever you can see on the screen at that time. But oftentimes pages are much
longer than what you can see and you're typically scrolling for a while to reach the bottom.
So go full page allows you to capture all of that in one click. So I'll typically use this. If I
find a design that I like, and I want to use it for inspiration for maybe something that I create
in the future, of course, I'm not intending to copy anyone, but instead I just like to keep it
for my own reference so that when I'm designing something, I can say, Hey, you know,
I really liked how this looked on her page. So I'm going to go ahead and maybe recreate that
in my own way. So by using go full page, I can easily capture and keep anything that catches
my attention for later use. Then we've got what font. So this tool is super handy and goes hand
in hand with the gofullpage, because it allows you to figure out which font someone is using on
any webpage on the internet. So if you're trying to design something and you saw a font that you
really liked on someone's website, you can just use this Chrome extension to hover over that font.
And it will tell you exactly what it's called and even the size of the font, as well as the weight
of the font. So it's such a simple, yet really handy tool. And I love having it in my Chrome
extensions bar. Then we have similar web. So this tool allows you to see how much
traffic an individual website is getting. So what you'll see is what their total monthly viewers are
and where those views are coming from. So specific social media pages, as well as individual blogs or
other page refers. So you can use this data for a variety of reasons, but I particularly use it for
when someone reaches out to me and wants to work with me. So maybe they want me to
be on their podcast, or maybe they want me to write a blog post for them, by looking at the
similar web Chrome extension, I can see how much traffic they're getting and how much a benefit it
may be for me to work with them. So that's how I particularly use it, but you can also use it just
to spy on your competitors, to see how they're doing and where their traffic is coming from,
because maybe you can get similar results as well. So there are a ton of Chrome extensions out there,
and I know hundreds that I've never tried before. So I would love for you to tell me in the comments
below which Chrome extension you can't live without so that I can check it out. And as always,
please hit the like subscribe and notification bell so that you never miss another video from me.
That's it for today, guys. Thanks so much for watching and I will see you next time.
