In this post, I’ll be listing down some basic popular chrome extensions I find really useful. I know it is not a big list, I shall add more with time.
Chrome is an amazing web browser but we all know it has its cons. It can eat up all your 8GB of ram if there are a lot of tabs open. Imagine having 8Gb of ram and working on Android studio along with 10 tabs open in chrome. The hack that I use to deal with this problem is an extension called The Great Suspender, it suspends the tabs after some time. It just replaces the current page with a local HTML page. And that’s about it, you just saved some memory for your system. Jai Shree Ram!
OneTab for reducing tab clutter in your browser.
Vimium is an extension that helps you manage your browser by only using your keyboard. Vim users will find it really helpful.
Grammarly helps with an error-free typing experience. It also shows you the mistakes for you to learn.
