4. Web Developer
The web developer extension for Chrome adds a little toolbar with different tools available. The original concept of this Chrome extension for developers came from the PNH Developer Toolbar.
The chrome extension web developers has a lot of handy tools a developer can use in their day-to-day work – for designers as well as programmers. It allows you to do a lot of more then the standard Chrome Inspector, like being able to easily add outlines to elements just by clicking, displaying rulers, finding all broken images on a page, and lots more.
5. ColorPick Eyedropper
An eye-dropper & color-picker tool that allows you to select color values from webpages.
If you feel the need to alert the developer about a bug use the feedback forum instead of writing a review.
If you are having problems with accuracy use the arrow keys, and enter to pick colors once you get the mouse in the approximate location.
Please note that colors are picked from a snapshot of the page that is updated only when you scroll. To take a new snapshot press r or use the re-snap button. Sometimes if you just changed tabs, you may see a snapshot error - this is an intentional security feature. Press R or scroll to correct this, or exit color pick and try again.
6. Ghostery
Ghostery is a great Chrome extension which detects trackers, pixels, and any other embedded snippet on a website. You immediately see which plugins and trackers are installed on the web page you’ve visited. Further on, Ghostery lets you protect your privacy. There’s no registration or sign up required to use this Chrome extension.

8. JSONView

- the default method (JSON content is extracted from displayed page) is faster but can (in some rare cases) alter or fail to parse the JSON content.
- the safe method costs an extra XMLHttpRequest request (JSON content is extracted from the HTTP response) but is 100% safe.

Refined GitHub is also a really awesome one.
Browser extension that simplifies the GitHub interface and adds useful features
We use GitHub a lot and notice many annoyances we'd like to fix. So here be dragons.
Our hope is that GitHub will notice and implement some of these much needed improvements. So if you like any of these improvements, please email GitHub support about doing it.
GitHub Enterprise is also supported. More info in the options.

It's available for Chrome and Firefox.
Cool, this is awesome. we will add this on collection if my team approve it
I love what Sorhus does. Thanks
Please keep updating this list.
Sure. No problem
Usually, I tend to not promote OctoLinker myself in comments, but it's essential for every GitHub user octolinker.now.sh 😉
I like that!
Ghostery is a great tool. But once you install it, you'll start getting pissed off, seeing what every website tracks.
uMatrix gives a nice breakdown of how nice a website is

It becomes really hard not to ask myself 'wtf is all this crap'
I don't get what sourcegraph does.
It is a helpful plugin for the github,
It is good for your keyword searching and indexing details
I don't really see the benefit of a colour picker. For development its more effective to use the debugger to alter the page and pick a colour.
WHOA! I hadn't heard of any of these... It amazes me what's out there that "every developer" knows about, but clearly there's a ton of room for sharing knowledge still. 😉 Thanks for the list!
So everyone can take that as a lesson: it doesn't matter how obvious you think something is - you can still share it! Someone out there hasn't heard it before :)
I am a developer and in addition to some of the above, I use the following
AdBlockerPlus&uBlock OriginGoogle Calendarbecause I time-block myself and want to be notified on computer and phoneLastPass, I assume every dev should be using some sort of password managerWeb Server for Chromefor quick testingColorZillaJsonFormatterPostman & InterceptorGoogle Docswhy don't you just pick the latter?
You should really check out dailynow.co
It will replace your new tab with the latest development blog posts.
Disclosure: I'm the maker
I'll throw mine into the mix.
It's a super simple "Cookie Crusher" that clears all the cookies on the current site and reloads the page in one click:
chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/...
I'd recommend GhostText - a great extension that allows you to sync a textarea on a webpage with your IDE.
Thanks for share, great tools, I think I will improve my work session with the tools you shared :)
hope you like it
Here's a couple extensions for devs that I have developed, and open sourced at github too:
Quick source viewer, to quickly see the HTML, CSS, JS of a page: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/...
Page size inspector, to quickly report the total page size, number of requests, cache use:
chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/...
I would replace the following:
Also, there is an extension slightly similar to Wappalyzer, but for a WordPress site analysis: WordPress Theme Detector and Plugin Detector.
Awesome list Jay!
I use the Dark Mode, JSON View, ColorPick Eyedropper, and Page Ruler. Apart from these, I use:
I wonder what do you use as your new tab extension, and why not an adblocker?
That's awesome.
