1. Web Developer

The Web Developer extension adds a little toolbar at the top of your browser with different tools available. It can be extremely useful for both designers and programmers in their day-to-day work. It allows you do to a lot more than the standard chrome inspector, like easily adding outlines to elements just by clicking, displaying rulers, and finding all broken images on a page.

2. ColorPick Eyedropper

This Extension allows you to select color values from any webpage and save that color in either a RBG value or HSL value. You can later use that specific color in your own CSS code! Cool!

3. actiTime

actiTime Timer helps developers to keep track of work hours directly from the web browser and web apps. Not only does it help developers stay on track with their workload but also allows them to take breaks! Some key features that they have are be able to start a timer in your browser, pause and edit your hours manually, and integrating your time with other tools. It’s a great way to make time tracking even more enjoyable.

4. Session Manager

When you’re working on the web, and find yourself opening the same web pages over and over, Session Manager is a great extension to have. It saves your browsing state and lets you re-open the session later. It’s a simple and powerful way of quickly saving, updating, removing, and/or restoring sets of tabs in your browser.

5. JSONView

As a developer working with RESTful APIs, reading raw JSON data can be extremely annoying and awkward. With JSONView, it becomes much easier to read JSON in tree-view in the browser rather than in its raw state.
