Which Chrome Extensions can you not live without?
Featured
253
I love chrome extensions! They make some of my tasks super easy. I add/remove extensions regularly, but these are some of them which I can't remove for sure. - Grammarly: Extraordinary help while writing anything from emails to blogs. - Dashlane: Can never remember my passwords. - Pocket: Best way to not lose the articles I want to read later. - Loom: Video version of "This meeting could've been an email". I love to quickly record screens and send it to my teammates. - Wappalyzer: When I want to know the tech stack on which a website is built on. - Honey: Of course! Which girl doesn't like good shopping deals. 😊 And while you’re here, Check out our product Supademo. A simple Chrome Extension helps you create interactive product demos in minutes. We have launched on Product hunt!! 🚀 We would love to see your love and support.💜 https://www.producthunt.com/post... Edit - Adding the most suggested extensions received in the comments. 1.

1. LeadDelta – assisting me in managing my Social Network 2. AuthoredIn – helping me write better pots on LinkedIn 3. Grammarly – helping me write better wherever I go 4. Loom – allows me to record and share my screen 5. HubSpot – mostly interactions with Gmail 6. GoFullPage – print and save the screen 🔥 🚀
Marko Rakic
Has anyone mentioned LeadDelta? It's a LinkedIn network manager. For me it's the #1 tool when it comes to LinkedIn productivity ( I work here, but that's my opinion about it)
Joan Mateo Duarte 🚀
The ones I use the most are Grammarly for spelling, Bitwarden for passwords, and Metamask for cryptocurrencies.

@joanduarte I just checked Bitwarden. It looks interesting, I pay almost 5x the price for Dashlane. Might move after my subscription ends. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Alex Lizogub
@joanduarte @namrata_dutta Why would you guys need to trust one more company with your passwords if that's already a part of basic functionality for both Chrome and Safari?
Nitin Joshi
@joanduarte is bitwarden trusted password manager? currently I save my password on google?

Summari, Notion web clipper, Adblocker, Hashtag analytics (to choose hashtags for LinkedIn posts more wisely)

@martina_hackbartt Notion web clipper is an interesting one. I am yet to use it. Thanks for sharing.

Great list. I’ll check out those I’m not familiar with. For me… 💛 OneSub — It’s the only bit of the OneSub family I’ve never posted on Product Hunt but I love it and use it, almost without realising, every day. Needs a bit of TLC and a brush up so if anyone has any ideas or feedback I’m all ears!

1. ScribeHow Turn any process into a step-by-step guide, instantly. You don't need to explain the process manually. Just record it, and the ScribeHow extension will convert it into a guide. 🔗 scribe.how/chrome 2. Wappalyzer Find out the technology stack of any website. 🔗 wappalyzer.com 3. EditThisCookie As the name suggests, you can add, delete, edit, search, protect and block cookies! 🔗 editthiscookie.com 4. Heurio Perfect for UX check, design & development review, heuristic evaluation, user testing, and more. 🔗 heurio.co 5. Similar sites Discover similar sites & topics while browsing particular websites. 🔗 similarsites.com 6. Checkbot Checkbot finds SEO, speed & security problems before your website visitors do 🔗 checkbot.io I hope you enjoy.

Namrata Dutta
@nithin_jawahar Some interesting ones. Looks like Keywords Everywhere is quite popular, adding it to the list. Thanks for sharing.

You might also consider Qlinks, helps you keep track off all your links, and coordinate internally with your team. I personally love loom, I use it extensively on a daily basis!

All the extensions you mentioned are spot on! Apart from your list I use Reader Mode (I'm surprised no one mentioned that!) which lets you read articles distraction and DRM free. I also want to (shamelessly) plug one that I've worked on, only because I believe we should not live without it in 2022, especially if we're professionals. Careerflow's LinkedIn Optimization extension: https://careerflow.ai/download Provides you a LinkedIn Profile score, best practices for each and every section, including a personalized checklists of things to improve. On average, 2.5X increase in search appearances after optimization. No brainer.

Awesome list, here are some recommendations form my side: 1. Metamask - for all things Web3. https://metamask.io/ 2. LoopinHQ - Supercharge your calendar into a productivity hub https://app.loopinhq.com/login 3. AdBlocker- Blocks ads for good. :) https://getadblock.com/en/

Being a marketing expert, I would say GSC, GA, Hubspot and Similarweb are the best tools for me. I can’t live without them.
Vijay Singh Khatri
@namrata_dutta Always, there are tone of chrome extensions that I am using on a day-to-day basis but these are the ones that I can’t leave.
Santa

SEMrush SEO Writing Assistant (https://tinyurl.com/seowritingas... Here is our superstar, who doesn't appreciate SEMrush? Their SEO writing assistant add on is a life saver for content creators. Still, I like to finalize my content on their web app, but this add on is definitely a huge support and you have to give it a shot. Loom (https://www.loom.com/): Fairly convenient screen recording tool, hard to produce top-tier content with the free version. Honestly, I would never pay subscription fee for a screen recording tool and rather go with one-off payment alternatives when Loom's free version isn't enough. But it's super convenient as a Chrome extension. ColorZilla (https://www.colorzilla.com/): Pick the color codes from your favorite images and pages. Comes in handy for all sorts of graphic design needs and web design. I find it especially useful when designing basic images for social media.
