Top 10 Web Development Chrome Extensions You Simply Need to Try!

Here's a list of 10 web development Chrome extensions that were widely appreciated:

  1. Web Developer:

    • This extension adds a toolbar with various web development tools, allowing you to disable JavaScript and CSS, view responsive layouts, and much more.
  2. ColorZilla:

    • ColorZilla allows you to pick colors from any webpage. It includes an advanced Eyedropper, Color Picker, Gradient Generator, and other color-related tools.
  3. Grammarly:

    • While not specifically a web development tool, Grammarly can help you improve your writing and catch typos in your code comments or documentation.
  4. Vue.js devtools:

    • If you're working with Vue.js, this extension provides a set of debugging tools for Vue.js applications.
  5. React Developer Tools:

    • Similar to Vue.js devtools but for React, this extension helps you inspect the React component hierarchy and track component state.
  6. LiveReload:

    • LiveReload automatically refreshes your webpage whenever you save changes to your code, making the development process more efficient.
  7. Wappalyzer:

    • This extension detects the technologies used on websites, providing insights into the stack they are built with.
  8. Octotree:

    • Octotree provides a tree-style code navigation sidebar for developers who frequently use GitHub, making it easier to explore repositories.
  9. JSON Formatter:

    • This extension formats and highlights JSON documents for easier readability, which can be handy when dealing with API responses.
  10. Postman Interceptor:

    • If you use Postman for API testing, the Interceptor extension allows you to capture requests made by your browser and import them into Postman.

Replace JSON Formatter with jq. Just a suggestion 😜
