With the new chrome 88 update, it seems like this is the best time to use the chrome extension. Here are some fresh new chrome extensions and no, we will not be covering popular ones like Grammarly, you book, origin, dark reader, etc. You know it I know it rather some little known ones.

LINK TO TEXT FRAGMENT

First up we have google's own link to text fragment. Now you might have seen a few changes with google search nowadays recently like pure if I head over to google and type iPhone 12 charger watt, the search engine shows 20 watts. Anyways if we click on the article link we see the information on the website is highlighted. Google is now making it easier for you to read the data within the article. So back to the extension, it lets you share articles in the same way so suppose I want someone to read only a certain paragraph instead of the entire article I can just select it right-click, select a link to text fragment and it will create a unique link. Just share this link with the people and when they click on the link it will open the article with the particular paragraph highlighted.

INSSIST 

Next up is inssist. We all know that Instagram doesn't let you upload photos or stories from the Instagram web app, you can somehow manage to upload photos but videos are still painful. A good way to get past that is the inssist Instagram client, it's a chrome app rather than an extension but it lets you upload multiple photos and most importantly videos from pc to Instagram. You can even upload stories from your PC using the insist chrome extension. It comes super handy and it just requires you to log in to the Instagram web app so it's even secure. 

WATOOLKIT

Next up is WAToolkit. It is another handy extension that I use see I don't like using WhatsApp web on my laptop but you know there are important messages or documents at times that you need on the pc so instead of opening the WhatsApp web tab I just log into WhatsApp web and close the tab entirely. The WAToolkit extension is pinned so whenever I receive a message it shows an unread message counter over by the taskbar. I just have to hover over the WAToolkit icon and it shows me the text message quickly so if it's urgent I can open the WhatsApp web app and reply or else ignore it.

FREADY

So you might have already known reading extensions like mercury reader or clean reader but here's one that I recommend Fready. Now similar to other readers Fready cleans up the entire web page with no ads so that you can easily read the entire article. Plus the interesting thing is it shows a highlighter over the text which you have to follow to read the article, trust me it makes a huge difference in concentration if you read this way. You can set the speed of the tracker, I keep it around 450 to 500 words per minute. 

I DON'T CARE ABOUT COOKIES

Next up is I don't care about cookies. Well seriously that's the name, now have you visited web pages that constantly ask for cookie permission? it's annoying. it's all because GDPR websites have to inform you that they are storing cookies and collecting your personal information but because of that, you open any site and boom cookie-cookie-cookie-cookie. So this extension removes all those cookie notifications so you can read or browse peacefully. It works great but you know what, use this extension for a week and then remove it to realize how much you miss it.

BUSTER - CAPTCHA SOLVER

The next extension is called buster. If you see open web pages in incognito or just simply use a VPN, google will throw a captcha challenge which you can sit and solve or use buster. It'll just solve it for you, it uses google's own API and uses the voice accessibility option to quickly solve the capture for you in just seconds.

SCREENITY

So this one would be useful to everyone who's studying or working from home. See at times you need to explain to your colleagues or even friends how to do things on your PC. We can use an extension called screenity. You can have your webcam footage overlay over the video footage and most importantly you can do cursor highlighter it also lets you do annotations with arrows and on and all of that in real-time while you're recording the video. How cool is that, I would use editors to do this stuff but screenity makes screen recording and illustrations so easy the app is open source so no watermark on the videos and free download as well it will be really useful to everyone who is working from home or even studying 

TAB EXTEND

And last, is tab extend which is a quick one. See if you use bookmarks it's pretty boring and you can't have more than 10 to 20 bookmarks at once. So use tab extend it lets you organize open tabs much better than bookmarks you can also add your custom node help me when I am studying or researching for a topic you can have different categories according to the web pages I used tobi earlier but tab extend is much better so these were some little known chrome extension you should be using in 2021. do let me know some of your favorite ones in the comment below so everyone else will know about them and use them.
