Top 10 Google Chrome Extensions

 10. Google Dictionary

Google Dictionary

If you are one of those people who tend to surf the internet a lot, be it for any purpose. Reading, Writing, Editing or even just Reviewing and most of the times you across words that do not make sense to you or words that you haven’t heard about before. Traditionally, you would have to search the word on google or look for any online dictionary for the purpose. With the help of your Google Chrome Browser and Google Dictionary extension, you would not have to go through that hassle anymore. Just simply hover over the word and you can select one of several ways for a pop-up to show up on top of the word. You might not have noticed, but this would save you a bunch of time each day rather every hour and improve your experience.

9. Momentum

momentum

Momentum is one of the must have extensions that need to be installed on your Google Chrome browser. If you have a lot of work to do and you want to keep reminders for the day, what other place would serve better than right on top of your browser. Every time you open up a new tab on your Google Chrome browser you would have a graphical layout showing your goals for the day and also for the week, but of course you would have to set them up before you can make use of them, which surprisingly is very easy and convenient. Just head over to your extension settings on your Google Chrome browser and you can set up the extension exactly the way you want.

8. AdBlock Plus

adblock-7

I have never come across an extension that can make your life as easy as Adblock Plus extension on the Google Chrome can make and this is one of the few extensions that I believe makes Google Chrome the best browser in the world of web. These days 80% of the best sites would have pop-up and ads showing on your browser which is very annoying and every time something pops up you would have to move the cursor all the way up for closing it down. AdBlock Plus will save you that hard-work by blocking all the pop-ups that a website has to offer, making it much easier and cleaner for you to display whatever you desire to read or watch.

7. MightyText

mightytext

I am sure about one thing that the developer of this extension is a genius. If you are a power user of your laptop or a developer who spends most of his/her time working on a laptop, as a result you miss out on the notifications or calls you get on your Android or iOS smartphone. MightyText for Google Chrome is the best remedy for this, you can reply to your text messages or know when someone calls you through your Google Chrome Browser. One of the best extensions for people who wants to keep an eye on their phone while working on their laptops or desktop PCs.

5. Ginger

Ginger

This extension is very suitable for writers, who do a lot of writing on social media websites or even on blogs online. This extension is similar to that of the Grammar checkers and spelling checker in the Microsoft Office. The only difference or should I say the place where Ginger has an advantage over the Microsoft Office is that you can get all those feature right on top of your browser and you do not have to copy paste the content to your Office application before you can publish it online via your Google Chrome browser.

4. Attachments.me
