I love chrome extensions! They make some of my tasks super easy.
I add/remove extensions regularly, but these are some of them which I can't remove for sure.
- Grammarly: Extraordinary help while writing anything from emails to blogs.
- Dashlane: Can never remember my passwords.
- Pocket: Best way to not lose the articles I want to read later.
- Loom: Video version of "This meeting could've been an email". I love to quickly record screens and send it to my teammates.
- Wappalyzer: When I want to know the tech stack on which a website is built on.
- Honey: Of course! Which girl doesn't like good shopping deals. π

Agreed for Dashlane, definitely a good one.
Adblock Plus and Video download helper. The first is obvious, the second helps with downloading media from sites. It helps with storing media for later viewing.
@ionelvlad I used to be a fan of Adblock Plus a long time ago, but now started supporting adsπ
The ones I use the most are Grammarly for spelling, Bitwarden for passwords, and Metamask for cryptocurrencies.
@joanduarte I just checked Bitwarden. It looks interesting, I pay almost 5x the price for Dashlane. Might move after my subscription ends. Thanks for sharing. π
@joanduarte @namrata_dutta Why would you guys need to trust one more company with your passwords if that's already a part of basic functionality for both Chrome and Safari?
@joanduarte is bitwarden trusted password manager? currently I save my password on google?
Dark Reader!
Grammarly is definitely a must.
For me its Grammarly.
Being a marketing expert, I would say GSC, GA, Hubspot and Similarweb are the best tools for me.
I canβt live without them.
@namrata_dutta Always, there are tone of chrome extensions that I am using on a day-to-day basis but these are the ones that I canβt leave.
For me
Grammarly
Google Calendar
Loom
Data Scraper - To scrape large data
Blackbox - Copy text in images and videos
Grammarly - Awesome for Spelling check
Awesome Screenshot - To take screenshots
Scribe how - To create SOP's
dark reader
darkpdf
hide.me proxy
Well... It's hard to pick one. I have been using Dashlane, Session manager, Chrome Capture, Grammarly, Bubbles, Arcade and Appcues. They all increase my productivity.
@nandini_sundaram I have heard all good things about Bubbles. I am gonna try it instead of Loom. Thanks for sharing your list. π
Vimbox, Grammarly, and Adblocker save me time.
All the extensions you mentioned are spot on! Apart from your list I use Reader Mode (I'm surprised no one mentioned that!) which lets you read articles distraction and DRM free.
I also want to (shamelessly) plug one that I've worked on, only because I believe we should not live without it in 2022, especially if we're professionals.
Careerflow's LinkedIn Optimization extension: https://careerflow.ai/download

Agreed, I also use MozBar, Ubersuggest for SEO work
The person I am working with is a genius. he build his own extension to create Lead Gen Videos. So I can't live without that extension its my source of earning money.
@johnathan_kimbrough Great! Good luck. Do you want to share the name of the extension here?
Great list. Iβll check out those Iβm not familiar with. For meβ¦
π OneSub β Itβs the only bit of the OneSub family Iβve never posted on Product Hunt but I love it and use it, almost without realising, every day.
Needs a bit of TLC and a brush up so if anyone has any ideas or feedback Iβm all ears!
