Google Chrome is one of the best and the most popularly used web browsers in the world today. Thanks to the clean interface, swift performance and easy syncing with smartphones that the browser offers to its users. But do you know that there are more than just the basics of browsing the internet that you can do with Chrome? There are actually a lot of useful extensions that you can download from the Chrome Web Store. Let’s try to take a look at some of them here.
AdBlock Plus
Out of the many Google Chrome extensions available, the AdBlock Plus (ABP) is one of the widely used and highly preferred ad-blocker by many internet users. This extension allows the user to block suspicious ads online and all it takes is an easy setup for you to get started with ABP. Downloading this will also mean that you’ll be able to have a tool that will filter malware and safeguard your computer.
Hover Zoom
If you’re a photographer , pro or not, this extension will prove to be very helpful. What Hover Zoom will allow you to do is zoom in a photo that you hover on. You don’t need to open every single image when browsing on the internet but just position your cursor on the thumbnails and take a look at the actual photos from there. Images that are very large are automatically adjusted to suit the display size of your computer.
Chrome Remote Desktop
This is one of the Google Chrome extensions that will help with work purposes as this allows you to provide another user with access to your computer screen remotely and take a look at your apps or files. If you’ve downloaded Team Viewer before, this works more or less the same with this software but this is easier and safer to use.
GetPocket
An amazing must-have extension for bloggers as this allows a user to save interesting web pages on the internet and then read it at his/her convenient time offline. If you’re a blogger, all you need to do is save videos, photos or articles and then take a look at them later as your reference materials for your next blog.
TooManyTabs
Browsing on the internet and having a lot of tabs opened in a just one window can be quite confusing and difficult for you to find the right tab that you want to take a look at. The TooManyTabs extension offers a replacement to all those confusing tabs by producing a better interface that displays all the websites you’ve opened with using thumbnails. This will help make your internet surfing a lot easier.
Those are just 5 of the most preferred Google Chrome extensions that you can use at your advantage. Now you may jump in and download that extension that you feel you would need the most!
