The Best Chrome Extensions I Can’t Live Without

August 11, 2020 by maskys

Recently a few people asked me about which extensions I use, and through sharing my list I've discovered even better ones, so I thought I should share it with you guys here as well to leverage the power of the internet!

You can find the links and more details for all these extensions [here.](https://blog.maskys.com/my-best-chrome-extensions/)

## Privacy Badger + UBlock Origin 🛑

Ad and script blockers that make sites look cleaner, load way faster, and pry less. These are the first extensions I install on any browser.

## Hover + Unpaywall/ ByPass Paywalls 🔓

Say goodbye to Medium and journal paywalls.

## Shut Up 🤐

Keep negativity at bay by disabling comments by default, and enable only on platforms whose audience you trust enough to read their unfiltered outputs.

## Reader Mode 📖

Make it easy to focus on the text by using Reader Mode on distracting/badly formatted sites.

## Grammarly ✍🏻

Grammarly effortlessly corrects any pesky spelling and grammatical mistakes I make.

## Video Speed Controller ⚡

Allows me to control the video playback speed on any site. Set the default pace to 1.10x and you'll go through videos 10% faster without even noticing. Or you can go through lengthy monologues even faster than Youtube allows by setting it to 2.5x+

## The Great Suspender 💤

Makes Chrome use fewer resources by suspending tabs you're not using.

## Tab Snooze ⌚

Ran into an interesting website you'd like to check out, but don't have the time for it at the moment? Use Tab Snooze, and it'll magically reopen the tabs later.

## Google Keep/ Notion Web Clipper 📎

Save interesting websites/clippings/notes

## News Feed Eradicator for Facebook ⛔

Hide the infinite news feed to prevent wasting time and attention. Out of sight, out of mind.

## Minimal Twitter 🌟

Hide the gunk (trends, etc) and clean the UI

## View Image 🔍

## Brings back the view image button on Google Images! 🤗

# Nerd Section

Super awesome extension that adds tons of features to Github.

## Refined Github 🐙

Super awesome extension that adds tons of features to Github.

## WhatFont 🔡

Stop digging through CSS in Dev Tools to find out which font a site is using. Just enable WhatFont, hover over any text to see the font family and other text properties!

## WhatRuns+Wappalyzer

I use these when I want a quick overview of what stack/tools a site is using. The results are pretty basic though, so if I want to dig deeper I just end up googling it.

## Epubpress

Turns websites/articles that I want to take my time to read into epubs that I can later read offline, usually on my Kindle.

Aand that's it! You'll find the store links and more details here: [https://blog.maskys.com/my-best-chrome-extensions/](https://blog.maskys.com/my-best-chrome-extensions/) .
