@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.

Loom for recording quick videos to send to my clients and to my team. I also sometimes use it for making YouTube videos.
Jorrit Baerends
Screencastify to make screenshots and screen recordings, and save them in the cloud, and get easily a link to share with the team.
@jorrit_baerends1 is the quality as good as QuickTime or is this more an analytics tool?

* 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

@hamedbaatour I wonder isn't Ghostery in addition to uBlock somewhat redundant? ๐Ÿค”
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...

Adblock plus, full page screen capture, Notion web clipper and Pushbullet

@sachin_londhe7 I find Adblock to be little ethical. The deal is: you get free contents, in exchange you have to see some ads.
Paras Jain
@sachin_londhe7 @weijianlin I had used pushbullet in past but uninstalled it. Found it little clunky and there was a lag. Is it better now?

Loom, Zapier, and Grammarly
Gabriele Sangrigoli
@dafnihnd uh, Grammarly! I was planning to try it. Do you think is a really well made product?
Dafni Chontou
@gabriele_sangrigoli it's pretty cool and simple! Corrects my grammar and I always enjoy learning what's the tone of my writing (formal/ informal, appreciative, confident, etc.)

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

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!

@sameen_ahmed why just not to resize extension area natively?

I have a lot but I will mention just one: ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ 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.

Checker Plus for Gmail is critical for anyone with >1 gmail address. Provides a unified inbox directly in the browser window; I use Spark for my desktop email app but its nice to have easy access in Chrome as well. Jason Savard, the guy who made Checker Plus, also has similar extensions for Google Calendar and Google Drive as well.
