7 Must-have Browser Extensions to Save Time and Boost Productivity

Time is Money: Make the Most of Your Time with These 7 Essential Browser Add-ons. Must have for Developers!

These add-ons will not only save you from the evil memory consuming tabs but will also help you to be more efficient with managing the daily TODOs & keeping away from spam & Ads. BELIEVE ME!

• OneTab : First and foremost.

Are you someone who has tons of tabs open in your browser simultaneously. (you hell are :P) Using OneTab, you can send all your not-being-used-at-the-moment tabs to OneTab page by just clicking on the icon. You can restore them later when you need.

Comes with a whole variety of settings — you can lock / rename / delete a list of tabs to categorise them better.

pro tip: If you wish to share multiple tabs (URLs) with your friend, you can do so by creating a web-page out of OneTab ‘ed pages (‘share as webpage’ button)

• QuickTabs — My favourite

Still struggling with the remaining open tabs? juggling to find your last tab? Use QuickTab to search and land to your desired tab quickly.

Shortcut: Cmd +E for MacOS users

• uBlock — So many ads irritating you?

Most of you might have used one or another ad-blocker. Try uBlock to block all recurring and irritating ads on YouTube & other websites.

pro tip: You can do much more, going into the settings: define URLs, custom regex to block.

• Dark Reader — Having trouble with brightness in night?

Try this add-on to switch b/w dark and light mode with a simple keyboard shortcut (Shift + Option + D)

• Natural Reader — Another less known but very useful one!

Use it for listening to articles, blogs and long papers or any PDFs. You can adjust speaker, speed, auto-scrolling etc.

Pro tip: You can visit to their website and app, just upload and read any PDF you have!

• The Great Suspender — Yet another memory optimization tool. One can’t miss this one!

The GS suspends idle RAM eating tabs in your browser and saves RAM. You can set it to automatically un-suspend when you visit a page again. Saves memory & increases your processing speed.

• Taskade — Do you keep forgetting some important work?

Don’t worry, write it down in your “New tab” page. Yes! so every time you open a new page, you’ll see all your TODOs in front of you! how cool?

You can also try Todoist if you want to keep it simple & minimalistic

In short, we covered:
OneTab, QuickTabs, uBlock, Dark Reader, Natural Reader, The GS & Taskade

Btw, You can click on the underlined titles to add them to your browser. I have added links for Chrome extensions. You can search for the same names in Firefox if you’re a Mozilla fan!
