The Chrome internet browser has become very popular, and so have the Google Chrome extensions. With all of Chrome’s features, including hundreds of external applications and extensions and a completely open source code system, it’s hard to see why it wouldn’t be popular.
But considering the Google Chrome Web Store is littered with hundreds, upon hundreds, of extensions, applications and goodies it can be hard for someone new to the scene to pick out the best available.
That’s why we’ve narrowed it down for you, into 13 Google Chrome extensions no one should live without, and one freebie (for you “productive” workaholics).
13 Google Chrome Killer Extensions
1.) Adblock- Everyone hates ads, but with the Adblock extension for Chrome no one has to deal with them again. Seriously, this is not a commercial, especially considering the extension is free. Adblock automatically blocks pesky ads on website pages which are recorded in an internal database.
2.) StayFocusd- The StayFocusd extension is perfect for anyone that does work on a computer, and has a hard time staying on task. The StayFocusd extension can increase “productivity” by blocking certain web sites, and adding a time limit to external sites that aren’t blocked. These methods ensure the user does not stray too far from the correct places, and remains on task. It’s a perfect extension for those who work from home.
3.) Chrome Toolbox- The Chrome Toolbox extension by Google adds some more advanced browser options and commands to spruce up any browsing experience. For example users can save unsubmitted internet form data for use later, view web videos in standalone windows, and can pre-define the browser to open all links in an external window.
4.) Smooth Gestures- Smooth Gestures is the next best thing to owning a touch screen monitor, well… sort of. The Smooth Gestures application allows users to perform actions using a series of pre-defined mouse and keyboard gestures such as swiping across the screen or scrolling up/down.
5.) WiseStamp- This extension works hand and hand with a Google mail or G-mail account, so naturally if you prefer another mail service this extension is useless to you. Basically the WiseStamp extension allows users to include social media and social network profile links in their e-mail signature.
