@stefan_smiljkovic This is a great list Stefan. I noticed Automatio as well. Will check out, used instant scraper and webscraper but not fully satisfied.

* OneTab - key for staying organized, saving things for later, and not bringing my computer to a halt with 100 tabs open * 1Password - do yourself a favor and protect your information (pro tip: use the autogenerated passwords for security questions too) * MeasureMate - really helpful when reviewing designs (be careful, sometimes it combines pixels from a border into the length) * Loom - sometimes a video is just way easier for communication to the rest of the team * Pocket - I always have something to read on the go

I have a lot but I will mention just one: πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Jitsi Meet: https://meet.jit.si/ The Free Zoom, and to set up a video call is just a click away - and the links are re-usable, no limits just free.

@hamedbaatour I wonder isn't Ghostery in addition to uBlock somewhat redundant? πŸ€”
Hamed Baatour
@janv 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...

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!

Lighshot, Google Translate, OCR image reader, SEOquake, etc are some of the extensions that are great.

I mostly use Chrome Extensions for design purposes, maybe someone needs to see those. My top #3. 1. WhatFont β†’ to catch some good fonts 2. GoFullPage β†’ to collect nice websites in Figma for me 3. Muz.li β†’ to get some inspiration and be up-to-date with the news

Just discovered GoFullPage - screenshot of the entire vertical page (not just whats visible on screen). Super useful for design, product folks.

Grammerly: love how seamlessly it operates with every text box Fonts Ninja: super helpful especially if I see an amazing font I would like to use in any collateral Snov.io e-mail finder: super helpful for getting emails of potential leads on LinkedIn - or any site for that matter.

When I first started out writing online, I struggled to build a writing habit. There is no tool to set a word count goal and track my daily progress. So, I built one. It's available on Chrome Web Store as Hypergraphia: Writing Habit Tracker. It can track my writing anywhere I choose. I write mostly in Medium and Quora. These days I can't go a single day without writing.

Mine are: Grammarly: https://chrome.google.com/websto... MozBar: https://chrome.google.com/websto... DataGrab (disclaimer: it's a no-code web scraping tool I'm building and using daily): https://chrome.google.com/websto...

xTab -- doesn't let you open the Nth tab. You define N. Forces you to focus and prevents the infinite tab problem.
