Chrome Extensions are extra features that you can add to Google Chrome. Extensions can make your life easier and help you browse the internet. Some Benefits of Extensions: get bonus information about a page, get timely notifications, and get more accomplished with fewer clicks. My favorite extension is Evernote Web Clipper, which allows me to save anything I find on the web or on twitter. It is so useful when you want to save an article or website for later. I no longer use bookmarks and if you correctly tag and save your search in a notebook you can easily access your files.
Here are my Chrome Extensions.
- Autocopy – Automatically copies text or links when they are selected. Imagine how many times a day you click Control or Command + C. Now, you don’t have to!
- Awesome Screen Shot – Capture a whole page or just a portion. It also ncludes annotating tools.
