Here are some of the most useful and best Chrome extensions, including the ad-blocker.
All of which are compatible with Google Chrome and other chromium-based browsers such as
Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, and others...
Let's get this video going.
Starting off at number ten, "CSS Peeper".
This extension allows you to find fonts used in the page as well as font size and other
font details.
It also helps in determining all of the colors that the website uses, and allows you to see
and download all of the images used in the web page.
This extension could be really useful for content creators.
Coming in at number nine, "Email Tracker".
This extension is quite useful for determining whether your recipient has opened your email
or not.
Once you've installed it, send an email using your Gmail account as normal.
When they open your email, you'll be getting a notification with the time, when it was
opened and a few other details along with it.
Moving along to number eight, "Panic Button".
This one could be very useful for many of us.
For example, if you have a bunch of tabs open in the browser that you don't want other people
to see, instead of closing them, you could simply click on the Panic Button icon, which
will hide all the tabs and redirect you to their website by default.
To change the redirect URL, right-click on the Panic Button icon, select Options, and
scroll down until you find "set a safe page," which you can modify to your desired URL and
the changes will be saved automatically.
Down to number seven, "X-Tab".
This might be a really helpful extension, as it restricts the number of tabs that can
be open at the same time.
You may set a tab limit to any number and have a few options such as closing least recently
used, least accessed, or oldest, or it will block you from opening a new tab if you reach
that limit.
You may also recycle existing tabs if you aren't utilizing them, as well as the tabs
where you play your music.
This might save a lot of system resources and help you prevent browser clutter.
Onto at number six, "Project Naptha".
This might be a game-changer for many people, particularly for content creators.
Project Naptha allows you to select any text from an image, yeah, you heard me right, from
an image.
You may copy the text, search for it on Google, and even translate it to whatever language
you wish, which is presently in Beta and not working at the time due to a network error.
Moving onto number five, "Extensity".
You may be aware that having too many extensions might cause your system to slow down, which
is true.
If your computer has low specs, "Extensity" will come in handy, and it's easy to enable
and disable the extension you require.
Click on the Extensity icon to see a list of all the extensions you have installed.
Those that are not enabled are grayed out, while those that are active are highlighted.
To enable any extension that is disabled, simply click on it to activate it.
This is a must-have if you have a lot of extensions installed because it will save you a lot of
system resources.
Moving along to number four, "I don't care about cookies".
This is my favorite, since we all know how frustrating and annoying it is when we visit
a web page and see the cookie warning banner and ask to accept before using the site.
"I don't care about cookies" extension will eliminate all of the warning banners that
appear on all websites, so you won't see them again.
Install the extension and then forget about it; there's nothing else you need to do.
On to number three, "Mercury Reader".
If you, like me, like a lot of internet reading, Mercury Reader is the ideal option for you.
It cleans-up a web page by removing all of the clutter, making an article simpler to
read.
To use the extension, simply click the Mercury Reader icon, and all of the clutter will be
gone, making the page more readable than before.
The settings icon is located in the top right corner of the screen and allows you to modify
the size, font, and theme.
You'll also see a Send to Kindle button, if you own a kindle it could be handy
Coming on to number two we have, "Privacy Essentials Extension"
If you're not familiar with the DuckDuckGo search engine, you should know that it does
not monitor or track your online activities.
Their privacy essentials extension is also quite helpful.
It prevents trackers that follow you online, protects your browsing data, and will change
your browser's default search engine to DuckDuckGo.
When you click the privacy essentials icon on any website, you'll see a privacy grade
for that site.
The site's grade has been improved from D to B+ as a result of the extension blocking
unnecessary trackers.
Below that, it will show you if the connection is encrypted or not, as well as the number
of trackers that have been blocked.
You may also disable protection for particular sites by clicking on this toggle button, and
the site grade will change immediately.
Finally, we have "ublock origin" at our number one spot.
If you need an effective ad-blocker for your browser, "ublock origin" is the best option.
It not only blocks ads but also blocks other content trackers in order to optimize the
efficiency of your system memory.
It blocks ads by default on all websites and, unlike its competitors, is not paid off to
allow certain ads to slip through.
And the extension is simple to use; simply click on the ublock origin icon, then click
the power button to enable ads for that specific site, and then just hit the refresh icon.
And repeat the same to enable it again.
