Best extensions for (addons) for Google Chrome

in #chrome7 years ago

This post is going to be about the best extensions for the Google Chrome browser for desktops. Sorry, mobiles don't support extensions at this moment. Most people use Google Chrome now, that's why I decided to write about Google Chrome. I am personally using these extensions. Let's get started!

Imagus

This is my favourite addon for Google Chrome, when it comes to viewing images. Most people use Reddit these days, and browsing can be a bit hard, if you do not have a plugin that loads the image in full size - when you hover the mouse over it. The default setting for Imagus enables it for all websites, but I am going to share a trick with you guys to enable it for Reddit (or any other site that you want).

Authy

I strongly suggest everyone to download this app, because it lets you do 2 factor authentication directly from your browser. You can have the same app on your phone, this way you can link the two applications. This is very handy if you do not have your phone at you. 2FA should be enabled by everyone - really!

HTTP Everywhere

You've probably heard about the fact that you have to look for "https://" when shopping online, if you want your data to be secure. With this addon, you do not have to do that. It will automatically go to the secure version of any website (if it is available). This is great for websites that do not do this automatically. Great for your privacy.

Privacy Badger

This plugin blocks trackers (such as Google and Facebook) and other "bad" things that websites load. This is great, if you want some privacy. Did you know that Facebook tracks you everywhere, because many pages have those "Like" buttons all over the place.

uBlock Origin

You might know the word "adblocker". Well, this is the best and most light-weight ad blocker for Google Chrome. You have the option to disable this on a site to site basis. Meaning you can disable it for any site you want to support. It gets rid of all ads on YouTube. I suggest downloading this extension if you don't have it installed already.

I personally use all these extensions right now, so it wasn't hard for me to find some to write about. Let me know what you think about this post. I am new here, and I want to share my knowledge.
