What Chrome extensions do you use?

I am a Web developer, every day I spend most of the time in the browser. Chrome is my preferred browser, at times I use firefox. Extensions are something I can't live without ๐Ÿ˜›.

Here I have compiled a list of chrome extensions that I use every day. Let me know If I should try something. If possible share a list like this.

โš’ Grammarly - Grammar/ spell checker to write better
โš’ LastPass - Memorizes all my passwords
โš’ Wappalyzer - Helps me to identify technologies used in a website.
โš’ Adblock pro - To Blocks annoying ads
โš’ Pablo - to create images with texts

    CLASSIC

    Grammarly - essential writing utility, especially for non-native English speakers
    Instapaper - thereโ€™s a ton of read later apps out there, Iโ€™ve been a die hard fan for years because of great typography on all devices; sometimes I transcode the article to immediately read it in a more readable form
    Notion Web Clipper - Switched from Evernote to Notion that carries on the function of being my 2nd brain
    LastPass - for remembering passwords for non-frequently used sites and for sharing them with my team
    Nimbus Screenshot & Screen Video Recorder - very handy for web screenshots, especially when you need the full-height (the tool automatically stitches bunch of screenshots together)

    THE UNUSUAL SUSPECTS

    Project Naptha - applies computer vision on images so you can select, copy and translate text thatโ€™s โ€œbakedโ€ into them

    Tablerone - for saving bunch of tabs with a single click so you can create workspaces or build collections of things; it also puts idle tabs into sleep mode to save system resources

    'Grammarly' to correct my grammar mistakes.
    'find website used font' to find out font details for any website if i like its fonts.
    'YouTube Enhancer' for better streaming it can block useless adds as well.
    'Text to speech' if i wanted to use a tool which can read text for me.

    WhatFont is good but another option is Find website used font:

    It identifies the fonts used on website and also lets you preview a typed in text of your own in the same font styles as the ones identified from the website or web page.

    Another chrome extension I use is Website read progress:
    It 's a reading progress bar and has a horizontal or circular shape depending on your preference. It fills up as u continue reading and scrolling down. Lets u know how much of the remaining content is left to read. Super helpful for reading novels webcomics, mangas etc.

    React Developer Tools
    Grammarly
