TL;DR: I can’t live without browser extensions, here are my favourite ones

Most if not all power users rely on the presence of a number of browser extensions to satisfy their specific needs/lunacies. The fact that Internet Explorer never provided an easy/accessible way to develop & deploy extensions is one of the many reasons why it was never my default Web browser (apart from when Microsoft forced my hand with OS upgrades…).

Fortunately for us, modern Web browsers (apart from MS Edge) are very customizable and major ones such as Google Chrome & Firefox have huge catalogs of extensions. The difficulty that remains for us is to find the truly great extensions among the huge number of crappy and plain evil ones ;-)

I’ve switched from Firefox to Chrome at the time Chrome came out and was blazingly fast and I haven’t taken a look back ever since (even if I know I probably should), hence I’ll only list the Google Chrome extensions that I use, although there are counterparts for most of the ones I’m about to mention.

So here’s my current list, in no particular order:

Bonus: DO IT! (just in case you need some motivation

Voilà! Apart from a bunch of software development related ones, the extensions above are the ones I can’t live without!

Which ones do YOU rely on and why?
