In a world filled with digital distractions and endless temptations, I refuse to let the Internet dictate my time and attention. I’m going to break down 5 of the best browser extensions out there for boosting your productivity. Mainly, the focus is on Chrome. Since it is the most popular browser out there and it’s the one I happen to use. But if you’re using something else like Safari, or Firefox, fear not. A lot of these extensions are on multiple browsers. From tab management to distraction blocking, these extensions have the potential to supercharge your productivity levels. Workona I’m a really bad tab holder. My friends love to make fun of the fact that I often have 50 or 100 tabs open, but that’s just nature. I always have multiple research projects going on and before I know it, the browser header bar is completely out of space. I can’t even see what they are at that point. It basically gives you this dashboard where you can create multiple projects and then group your tabs into those projects. You can also switch between projects and Workona actually suspends the tabs that you’re not using and hides them if they’re not an open project. So, Workona makes context switching a lot better and it also encourages you to be working on one specific project at a time. Unhook Imagine going to YouTube, there’s nothing on the home page. Let’s say you want to learn about side hustles. Before you search you’ll see that you have a ton of recommendations and random videos and you might get attracted and end up clicking that. After Unhook, you can just go on to YouTube and you can literally search for what you want exactly. Like Google. It basically helps you to get rid of all the YouTube recommendations and helps you to be more mindful of the content. Well, it’s an amazing tool for you to use it has a bunch of settings that you can tweak around if you want to save time. Helper-AI Helper-AI ( www.helperai.info ) built the fastest way to access GPT-4 on any site. Just type “help” and instant access GPT-4 on any site without changing tabs again and again. In just 2 months Helper-AI made $2750+ by selling their own AI Startup source code and 100% Ownership, So other also can start their own AI startup in this golden era!! Why use it? ✓ 3x Productivity, Write code & Excel Formulas, Rewrite, Research, and more. ✓ Work Great with all macOS + Windows. ✓ Resell at any cost ( 100% Ownership + Source Code ) 🔗 www.helperai.info uBlock Origin It’s a great ad-blocking extension. There are a lot of ad blockers out there. But I like uBlock Origin because it doesn’t use a lot of resources. I think an ad-blocking extension is almost necessary for computer security as an antivirus program. uBlock Origin also let me temporarily delete a part of the website. add filters, which can block certain elements of websites. Nimbus It’s a super lightweight screenshot and screen recorder tool. From this, you can choose to take a screenshot of a tab or a specific window. When you’re done you can simply save this image and download it to your folder. Second, cool feature is if you change the action after capture to quick upload after you take a screenshot. Then it’s saved into your clipboard and now you can send that to anyone else. If you record your screen you can choose to record your microphone and your webcam. You can even add a countdown timer if you want. It gives a pretty clean shot for all screenshots and recordings because it’s just so powerful. Pocket Pocket is just for saving a cool webpage for later. If I came across an article that I don’t have time to read and want to read later or If came across a cool app that I want to share with my audience. There’s another cool feature about Pocket is their mobile apps have the ability to download articles for offline reading. Conclusion Workona — tabs management Helper-ai — Instant access GPT-4 Unhook — distraction-free YouTube uBlock Origin — ad-blocker Nimbus — record & capture screenshots Pocket—capture articles & web pages These extensions will change your online experience and make your life undeniably easier. Do give them a try. Hope you find these helpful. And you will join my newsletter - https://iideaman.beehiiv.com/ Thanks for reading!!
