These are some really good browser extensions, if you don’t use them — these extensions are worth a try.
I have really searched for the best ways to stay on top of my busy life and work. It’s not easy task to manage all the apps and passwords these days. I don't even dare to look in my inbox as I fear, it will be full of emails and promotions I don’t want.
Luckily, on my trip around the internet I've found some apps that help me on my journey — and I'm sure they will help you too!
1. Wise Dash
Wise Dash is my go to new-tab extension. Basically, it allows me to have overview of all the other parts of my online life in one convenient dashboard. Wise Dash allows you to connect with many apps and setup your dashboard to give a convenient overview of all the apps you care about.
While working, I'm using Wise Dash to see the status of my Jira tickets, Todoist lists and calendar events. While relaxing, I'm using it to track my Duolingo streak, Chess games and see who's live on Twitch
2. Bitwarden
I wanted to break free of Google Chromes password manager because it locks you in with one browser. Not only that, it’s not end to end encrypted (the good one) and knowing that Google has ultimate control of my passwords did not sit well with me.
Bitwarden is really convenient, cross browser and offers an app for the phone. If you really have a tinfoil hat, you can self host an instance of Bitwarden. Personally I find the online service they offer perfect for me.
3. xBrowserSync
In the same theme of breaking free from one browser and controlling my own data, xBrowserSync allows me to do that. Put really simply: It syncs your browser bookmarks, cross browser and it’s end to end encrypted.
Once again, you are able to use their servers to host your encrypted and anonymous data, or you can host your own server.
4. Mega
Remember that guy from New Zealand that changed his last name to dotcom and had the FBI raid his mansion, seizing his servers and taking control of his filesharing website MegaUpload?
Well, they say in life — when you get knocked down to get back up and keep on going. That is exactly what Kim Dotcom did with mega.nz albeit, learning from some of the mistakes from the previous war on piracy.
Mega.nz is basically Google Drive or OneDrive but actually secure and end to end encrypted — it’s what I trust to store my files.
5. uBlock Origin
Put basically, this stops browser adds. Say goodbye to distractions and annoying popups on a HUGE amount of websites.
To be honest, it’s not even about blocking the adds half the time — it’s about stopping the annoying distractions and popups.
So yeah, that's my 5 recommendations for 2024.
