I spend 90% of my time using the browser. For me, productivity relies on the tools I use. From my experience, these Chrome extensions have transformed my workflow, making my daily activities easier to manage.
Bitwarden Password Manager
Security is crucial when handling many accounts. Bitwarden, which is free and supports unlimited devices, revolutionized how I handle passwords. I used to juggle multiple logins, constantly forgetting them. It caused stress, always slowing me down. Bitwarden solved this problem. Now I store my credentials securely and generate strong passwords effortlessly.
Clear Cache
A slow browser can ruin even the best plans. I’ve faced this frustration often, usually at critical times. Clear Cache solved this. With one click, my browser runs smoothly again. I don’t have to dig through menus, which keeps my focus intact. I’ve seen immediate performance improvements every time I use it.
Dark Reader
Late-night work sessions used to strain my eyes. Dark Reader changed that. It enables dark mode on every site, reducing brightness and eye strain. Now, when I work late into the night, I feel more comfortable. The extension also follows the system’s color mode or adjusts automatically to sunrise and sunset, with immersive colors that don’t look ugly. This small change has had a big impact on my work comfort.
GoFullPage – Full Page Screen Capture
Capturing entire web pages used to be difficult. I would take multiple screenshots and stitch them together. GoFullPage eliminated this hassle. With one click, I capture full pages, saving time and making my job easier. This feature has been invaluable when working on product listings or documenting articles.
History Trends Unlimited
Tracking where I waste time online has always been challenging. History Trends Unlimited helped me become more aware of my browsing habits. I was shocked to learn how much time I spent on unproductive sites. With this knowledge, I made conscious changes to improve my focus. This extension generates detailed time statistics and exports records.
Just Save
Downloading images used to be tedious. Every time I needed to save a file, I had to go through repetitive “Save As” dialogues. Just Save fixed this. Now, I download images instantly, skipping the prompts. It’s surprising how much time this simple extension saves me daily.
Move Tab to Next Window
Managing tabs across multiple windows used to be chaotic. I like to keep important work tabs in one window and use another for browsing and research. Move Tab to Next Window made this effortless. With one click, I move tabs between windows without losing focus. This extension has brought order to my cluttered workspace, helping me stay organized.
Note Anywhere
Taking notes while browsing is essential for me. However, jumping between tabs and note-taking apps would break my concentration. Note Anywhere solved this. Now, I take notes directly on web pages. It synchronizes across different pages, and my notes remain when I reopen them. This has made researching and organizing ideas more fluid and integrated.
Reeader – Minimal Reader with Speed Reading
Simplify the content and remove unnecessary elements, Reeader helps with its speed reading function, condensing articles into digestible formats. It’s a lightweight extension, has a customizable color option, and doesn’t take up much memory. It has significantly improved my reading speed without compromising comprehension, allowing me to get through more material quickly.
Remove Wikipedia Citations
Wikipedia is a valuable resource, but its citations clutter the text. Remove Wikipedia Citations fixes this by hiding references, making the content easier to read and copy. This has streamlined my research process, letting me focus on substance rather than citations.
Video Speed Controller
YouTube’s playback speed is typically limited to 2x. However, Video Speed Controller makes this seamless, whether I’m watching tutorials or lectures. It supports speeds up to 4x, helping me quickly learn and save time.
YouTube Screenshot Button
Capturing specific moments from YouTube videos is part of my daily tasks. Before YouTube Screenshot Button, I used clunky external tools. Now, I capture frames directly with ease. This extension has made creating tutorials or social media content faster and smoother, with screenshots saved to a folder in one step.
Image Downloader – Save Pictures
Finding and downloading images for projects used to take too much time. Image Downloader simplified this by letting me bulk download images from any webpage. It filters images by size, making it easy to get high-definition images in batches. This has been especially helpful for visually heavy projects.
OK, I couldn’t list all, each of these Chrome extensions has boosted my productivity, no matter the challenge. I will update more later.
